Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Thunder
Denver Nuggets vs Oklahoma City Thunder Picks and Prediction: SGA Returns but the Spread Feels Like a Trap

The Denver Nuggets (37-22), fourth in the Western Conference, travel to Paycom Center to face the Oklahoma City Thunder (45-15) on Friday, February 27, tipping off at 9:30 PM ET, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander confirmed back after a nine-game absence and Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein, and Alex Caruso all cleared from the injury report, while Denver arrives missing Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson with Jamal Murray listed as questionable due to illness, and this matchup puts the league's top offense against a suddenly-healthy Thunder squad riding its first-place perch atop the West with the San Antonio Spurs just 1.5 games back. OKC opened as an 8.5-point home favorite, and the return of SGA explains the number, but a team that is 4-9 against the spread when favored by at least that much laying it to a Nikola Jokic team that is 4-0 ATS as dogs of this size is one of the sneakiest value spots on the Friday slate.

New York Knicks vs Milwaukee Bucks Picks and Prediction: Giannis Watch Clouds a Bucks Team Playing Its Best Basketball in Months

The New York Knicks (37-22), sitting third in the Eastern Conference, travel to Fiserv Forum to face the Milwaukee Bucks (26-31) on Friday, February 27, tipping off at 8:00 PM ET, with Giannis Antetokounmpo listed as day-to-day with a left calf injury and Taurean Prince confirmed out with a neck issue, this matchup puts a Knicks squad that has covered just once in their last six games and lost 94-109 to Cleveland in their most recent outing against a Milwaukee team that has won eight of their last ten and is riding genuine momentum through the Porter Jr. and Rollins backcourt, as New York arrives as a 7.5 to 8-point road favorite trying to grab a seeding edge while the Bucks fight for a play-in spot at home in what shapes up as one of the trickier spreads on the Friday slate.
