🧪 SAL's Synthesis
With a Final Net EV of -0.02, the Denver Nuggets at +8.0 points appears overpriced in this matchup. The Oklahoma City Thunder's strong home record and offensive efficiency, combined with their capacity to win by significant margins, suggest they are likely to secure a victory that exceeds the spread. While the Nuggets have shown competitiveness, the combination of the Thunder's current momentum and their inconsistent ability to cover large spreads leads to a cautious stance on this wager.
