Is there a better story in the NBA this year than the one being told in Denver?

The coach is fighting cancer and the star player has shot his way out of town, yet the Nuggets keep winning. Without go-to-diva Carmelo Anthony, Denver has rebuilt its persona on the fly. The Nuggets are running teams into the ground with a 48-minutes-of-hell mentality. They now have seven wins in their last eight games, including road victories over Dallas and the Lakers, and a win at home over San Antonio. Suffice to say no team in the league has had that type of run this season.

Expected to slide out of the playoff race, the Nuggets instead have spread the scoring wealth among veterans J.R. Smith and Kenyon Martin, and newcomers Danillo Gallinari, Ray Felton and even Wilson Chandler. In the win over the Mavs, Smith led the team in scoring with 23 points off the bench, in only 28 minutes. Online Sports Betting at Sportsbook

Head coach Georger Karl, who has missed time to undergo chemotherapy treatments, somehow makes it all work. You can make a case that few coaches understand today’s NBA players as well as Karl does. When the Anthony trade went down he said that the Nuggets were a much better team than before the deal. The comment drew chuckles and rolled eyes, but no one is laughing now.

The Nuggets are locked and loaded, and ready to bring their breakneck style to the playoffs. They play like no other team in the league, and they could send Dallas or Oklahoma City to an early exit in the Western Conference 4-5 matchup.

NBA Trends:

DEN are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 vs. NBA Northwest.
Under is 16-5-1 in DEN last 22 overall.
DEN are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 road games.
Under is 11-4 in OKC last 15 overall.
OKC are 19-9 ATS in their last 28 Fri. games.
DEN are 3-9 ATS in the last 12 meetings.

BEST BET: Bettors who have backed the Nuggets have been rewarded big time over the last few months. Denver is on an amazing 18-3-1 march ATS since the middle of February, as oddsmakers have consistently undervalued them. A Nuggets win tonight increases the likelihood of a Denver-OKC first-round playoff series. Play here looks like the over.

The Thunder play free and easy at home and feed off the crowd’s energy, so expect a lot of points.
