The Oklahoma City Thunder are anticipated to win and cover against the Denver Nuggets, especially with the return of star player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Thunder have been strong, winning 7 out of 11 games in February, with a positive history against the Nuggets, winning the last matchup 121-111. On the other side, the Denver Nuggets have shown inconsistency, losing 6 of their 10 games this month. This matchup leans favorably towards the Thunder, who are the better team despite a setback in their latest game.

Denver Nuggets 4-6 So Far in February

Denver head to Oklahoma City having been on an inconsistent run during the month of February, losing six of their 10 games.

The Nuggets began the month with a three-game skid, following up a 121-111 home loss to Oklahoma City with road defeats to Detroit, 124-121, and New York, 134-127 in overtime.

They snapped that skid with a 136-120 success in Chicago, only to return to losing ways when they returned home for a 119-117 defeat to Cleveland.

Denver responded with a 122-116 win at home to Memphis, and then answered a 115-114 at the LA Clippers with a 157-103 demolition of the Trail Blazers in Portland.

The Nuggets again failed to string together wins as they lost 128-117 at Golden State, but they put that behind them on Wednesday by downing Boston at home, 103-84.

7 Wins In 11 Games This Month For Oklahoma City Thunder

Oklahoma City come into this game on the back of a loss, but they have been in decent form in February with seven wins in 11 games.

The Thunder began the month with back-to-back victories, beating Denver 121-111 on the road and Orlando 128-92 at home.

They were unable to keep that run going as they lost 116-106 at San Antonio and 112-106 at home to Houston, but they rallied on the road to beat the Los Angeles Lakers 119-110 and Phoenix 136-109.

Oklahoma City were then beaten 110-93 at home by Milwaukee, only to rebound and beat Brooklyn 105-86 and Cleveland 121-113.

The Thunder then won 116-107 in Toronto on Tuesday, but failed to make it four-in-a-row as they were beaten 124-116 in Detroit 24 hours later.

Verdict

Oklahoma City lost last time out, but they are the better team and they are getting a major boost for this one.

SGA is back for the Thunder, and we are backing him to lead the hosts to a win and cover.
