There are two ways of looking at Oklahoma City. One is the conventional way where the Thunder have the fourth-worst record in the NBA. The second way is the point spread route where lo and behold the Thunder have the second-best ATS mark in the NBA.

The Thunder have been at their point spread finest as a road 'dog and off a lopsided loss. 

Oklahoma City was just embarrassed by the Kings in a 21-point home loss. The Thunder are 8-2 ATS following a double-digit defeat. The Thunder also are 21-7 ATS the past 28 times they are a road 'dog. 

Denver is fat and happy, winners of six in a row, including a blowout road win against the Trail Blazers in its last game. Twice since mid-January have the Nuggets been favored by 10 or more points. They are 0-2 ATS in those games. Denver also has failed to cover in seven of its past nine home contests.
