Denver Nuggets vs Sacramento Kings
Denver Nuggets / Over 235.5 $2.55

The Nuggets play host to the Kings in a Western Conference showdown.

Denver will be looking to go 3-0 in their regular season series against Sacramento after winning both home and away.

Both to these outfits have sub-optimal defensive rankings and rely heavily on their offence to pick up wins, as evident in the pair’s previous two match-ups which both saw 250+ total points scored.

I’m backing the home team to claim the W, combined with the Overs saluting again.

Memphis Grizzlies vs Oklahoma City Thunder
Memphis Grizzlies (+7.5) $1.98

OKC look to go 3-0 against the Grizzlies when the pair meet in Memphis on Thursday morning (AEST).

The Thunder have bounced back from a loss to the Timberwolves, winning their last four games, three of which came on the road.

Oklahoma are 23-7 on the road this season, with only Cleveland and Boston boasting better away records.

Meanwhile, the Grizz are staring down the barrel of a fourth straight defeat, after going down to the Knicks, Spurs and Hawks in one-possession losses.

Despite a run of defeats, Memphis are rarely embarrassed at home, and despite the quality and depth in the OKC squad, I believe they’ll be pushed to the brink in this contest.

I’m taking the Grizz to cover as home underdogs.
