SGA’s Comeback Sparks Clash with Jokic — Is the Over/Under About to Explode?
When I looked UNDER the hood of their meeting earlier this month, my first reaction was, “Damn, these teams balled”. Granted, Jokić sucked, but Denver shot 45.7% from behind the arc, OKC shot 39.6%, and the Nuggets-Thunder cleared the 225.5 total by 6.5 points. As a result, the total for their rematch is eight points higher.
That said, I’m fading that overreaction for several reasons. They would’ve gone Under the total if it weren’t for their red-hot shooting. Betting Unders in big primetime games is an “old-school” handicapping angle. Gilgeous-Alexander might be rusty after not playing in 3+ weeks, and this game should have a playoff-like intensity.
