Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on December 17. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

After three straight defeats from Sacramento (117:123), Clippers (102:111), and Houston (106:114), the Nuggets have already won three straight, once again breaking into the top of the West - the team is second in the conference with a balance of 17-9 and is second only to Minnesota. During the winning stretch, Denver beat Atlanta (129:122) and Chicago (114:106) on the road and confidently handled Brooklyn (124:101) at home.

In general, the Nuggets, of course, remain among the main contenders for the championship title. The recent results show that Denver players are adept at adjusting to a particular opponent and can add both offense and defense at the right moment.

The Thunder were close to making the playoffs last season for the first time in a long time but were stopped in the play-in round. This championship season, the team seems serious about reversing that result. With Chet Holmgren finally making his debut, Oklahoma has added to its defense, hasn't gotten worse offensively, and is third in the West. The balance of wins is 15-8.

Thunder opened the road series in the previous game but could not do it successfully - the defeat from Sacramento 123:128.

Denver has an advantage over all opponents. Therefore, it is also likely that Oklahoma will not be able to impose a decent resistance to Denver. We bet on the victory of the reigning NBA champion, especially without additional factors; Michael Malone's team is the clear favorite. Thunder, as it seems, at the start of the championship, too many victories. In addition, we bet on high performance. Without Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Denver's defensive potential will be reduced.
