SGA’s Comeback Sparks Clash with Jokic — Is the Over/Under About to Explode?

SGA’s Comeback Sparks Clash with Jokic — Is the Over/Under About to Explode?

Unpacking the first part, Nuggets-Thunder on Feb. 1 had a 96.1 Pace, which, for context, would be tied for 28th if it were a team. Denver wing Christian Braun didn’t play in that game, and he is the Nuggets’ best perimeter defender and will play Friday. They’ll be without forward Peyton Watson Friday, who scored a team-high 29 points vs. OKC earlier this month. 

Also, Denver ranks 23rd in offensive rebounding rate and second in offensive turnover rate, while Oklahoma City ranks 29th and third in those two metrics. Meaning, it’s unlikely that there will be putbacks and easy points scored off turnovers. Finally, five of their seven conference semifinal games last season combined for fewer than 227 points.
