Thunder vs. Nuggets Same-Game Parlay Picks
Nuggets Moneyline (-250)
The Nuggets are shooting an effective field goal percentage of 54.5 percent while only turning the ball over 13.9 percent of the time. Against the Thunder, these numbers will be just fine offensively, knowing that the Thunder struggles to force turnovers and allow teams to shoot an effective field goal percentage of 52.8 percent while also allowing 111 points per 100 possessions.
The Nuggets have struggled a bit on the defensive end, allowing teams to score 111.1 points per 100 possessions. However, the Thunder have been inconsistent on the offensive end and are taking so many bad shots. The Thunder have an effective field goal percentage of 48.3 percent and are scoring just 101.2 points per 100 possessions. If the Thunder continue to take bad shots, the Nuggets should clean up the glass and keep the Thunder away from the foul line.
Will Barton Over 15.5 Points (-125)Â
The Nuggets aren’t the best three-point shooting team in the league but should get plenty of quality looks from long range against a Thunder group that has been awful defending the three. The Thunder allow teams to shoot 41.7 percent from the corner, 35.5 percent from non-corner threes, and 37.2 percent from all threes. On the other hand, Barton is scoring 15.6 points per game while shooting 37.7 percent from long range on the season. So this is a solid matchup for the career 35.3 percent three-point shooter.
Nikola Jokic Over 13.5 Rebounds (-125)
Jokic is averaging 13.5 rebounds per game and has a great matchup against the Thunder. Not only do the Thunder brick shots, but they also struggle to get offensive rebounds.
The Thunder are earning just 24 percent offensive rebounds on the season, while the Nuggets allow 24.5 percent offensive rebounds. That’s mostly due to Jokic and his rebounding ability. With the Thunder shooting a 48.3 percent effective field goal percentage and also scoring just 101.2 points per 100 possessions, Jokic will have plenty of opportunities to rebound in this game.
