Denver Nuggets vs New Orleans Pelicans
Nuggets to Cover $1.90

The Nuggets host the Pelicans for the 2nd time in three days as the pair meet for the fourth and final time this season.

NOLA are looking to avoid a seventh straight defeat here, but a road record of 4-19 suggests that the L’s will continue to flow.

Alternatively, the Nuggs are 15-8 in Denver this season, and are looking to push for a top 2 seed in the West.

The Pels are 7-16 against the spread on the road this season, and I’m backing them to lose comfortably again here.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Phoenix Suns
OKC to Cover $1.90

The Thunder welcome the Suns Paycom Center for the 2nd time this season, after winning the pair’s initial meeting 99-83.

OKC are 20-3 in Oklahoma, with only Cleveland boasting a better home record (24-3).

Alternatively, the Suns haven’t travelled all that well this season, going 10-14 on the road, while covering the spread in just three of 11 games when starting its the Away Underdog.

Speculation continues to swirl around the Phoenix franchise, with Jimmy Bulter heavily linked to a move, while they are actively shopping Beal and Nurkic.

Despite off-court distractions, the Suns don’t have the on-court chemistry and determination to bother the Thunder at home.

I’m backing OKC to cover comfortably.
