Jamal Murrary has started the season with two games scoring twenty one then twenty two points and an average of 5.5 assist a game. Outside the 2023 Conference Finals these kinds of averages have been Murrary. Expect a steady diet of these performances from the guard. 

Josh Giddey in his second year increased his FG% and 3P% by at least six points in each category. Last season he had 16.5 ppg, a bigger role may be coming. Tonight is a chance to watch how the playmaker responds to elite competition. 

Thunder have averaged 116 points a game this season 

Nuggets have averaged 113.5 points a game this season 

Thunder are 2-0 in their road games against the spread

Nuggets are 2-0 in their last 5 games.

Since opening the line has moved from Denver -1.5 to -3. Anticipate Thunder as home dogs to be a season long advantage. Vegas increasing the spread here  is a recalculation that punishes early bettors. The larger the number the more confident I get in Denver. Until Jokic shows a string of difficult games this season, the Nuggets should be bet.
