00:00Let's get it over here to the Association today and a rematch run it back game number two and a blowout victory yesterday for OKC the Denver Nuggets staying in town.
00:09This line opened up as a minus nine and a half point favorite. It's currently sitting at minus nine as a favorite towards the hometown team.
00:15Oklahoma City Thunder total opened up at two thirty nine and a half in New Jersey now sits at two thirty eight.
00:20Even Nuggets Thunder buyback today on the Nuggets or another impressive victory for OKC on deck for you Tom.
00:26I actually don't mind Denver today but specifically I do like under two thirty eight to three and a half.
00:32I was on the under yesterday. We're essentially having the same exact game outside of Aaron Gordon who didn't return last night.
00:38I would assume he's not going to play today. We have a final confirmation on that.
00:41But yesterday OKC shot forty eight point nine percent from the field.
00:45So I'm just expecting a little bit of natural aggression for them to not shoot nearly 50 percent.
00:49And we saw the under heat yesterday was two forty two to forty two and a half whatever might be.
00:53We saw two or three points yesterday. So if I'm expecting regression from OKC we're getting nearly the same number from the total.
01:01I don't think Denver wants to get out and turn this into a track meet which is a scenario where they lose yet again.
01:07So I think Denver live to cover not to win but we will see the under hit yet again.
01:12Nine games for Denver since the All-Star break the Nuggets have played to the under in seven of nine.
01:18Tom after Nicola Okich made history in overtime on Friday night the first ever 30 20 20 game 31 points 22 assists 21 rebounds in Denver's victory over Phoenix.
01:31The margin to win the MVP still favored Shea Gilgis Alexander.
01:35But it was a little bit tighter which made yesterday's game not just compelling from the overall size but of course the individual race for the most valuable player.
01:44SGA goes out leads OKC to a big home victory scores 40 points for a third consecutive game.
01:51Shea Gilgis Alexander now back to a minus 600 favorite to win that MVP hardware.
01:57Tom Vecchio tell us all is the MVP race in the NBA now done.
02:02It is it is and it was done before yesterday's game.
02:05It was going to be done I would say regardless the results of yesterday's game or tonight's game.
02:10I don't want to say it's voter for a voter for tea but we have seen this play out over the years whether it's a beat versus Yoke.
02:16It's like the storyline has been built from the start of the season that SGA was like a really really solid option.
02:23Once he really strung together these 40 point games especially these 50 point performances and the fact that they are the number one seed.
02:30Listen he goes out here and he could drop 10 points.
02:33The odds would change but I still think he's going to win the award.
