Denver at Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City opened its season Tuesday with a 116-104 win at San Antonio, and Victor Wembanyama went 1-for-13 from the field against a Thunder frontline of Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein and Aday Mara. The Thunder led by as much as 26 in the first half and by 21 at the break, and San Antonio's 23-9 run to start the third quarter only cut that lead to single digits. Denver is the last team in the league to tip off, so tonight is the first regular-season game for a Nuggets roster that went 3-2 in the preseason. Nikola Jokić anchors an offense that ranked eighth in preseason efficiency, scoring 116.5 points per 100 possessions. Holmgren guarded Wembanyama on Tuesday and can slide over to Jokić, which leaves Hartenstein, also a seven-footer, to handle Aaron Gordon. NBA.com ranks the last two Thunder defenses among the seven best of the past 30 years, and they have three seven-footers to put in front of Jokić. I'm playing the UNDER tonight.
