00:00A four-game slate in the NBA on this Thursday night, and a few teams waiting to make their

00:09season debut in 2024-25, including two of the frontrunners DRS for a Western Conference

00:16crown this season.

00:18That includes the Western Conference favorite entering the year, the Oklahoma City Thunder,

00:24and a team that has won the Western Conference championship in the last two seasons, along

00:28with a Larry O'Brien trophy, that's the Denver Nuggets.

00:31Tonight at Altitude, the Nuggets play host to OKC, Denver a two-point home favorite.

00:37Total stands now at 227.

00:40Listen, it's the opening night of the year.

00:43It's more than likely not going to move the market, but it is an impactful game that we

00:48will certainly take narratives from.

00:51What do you think the overall reaction will be to the opening night in Denver between

00:55the Nuggets and the Thunder?

00:57Oh, it'll be a tone center.

00:58And so many times that I take a look at the NBA and say they get things right, they got

01:01things wrong tonight, Ben.

01:02Do you know why?

01:03This game, Oklahoma City and Denver, which everybody wants to watch, buried at 10 o'clock.

01:07You got to be kidding me at this point here.

01:09Because I, Gilchrist, Alexander, Caruso, Dewart-Williams, Holmgren, going up against the Kovaljokic,

01:14we want to see that.

01:15Why is this game 9 o'clock, 8 o'clock, 7 o'clock here at this point?

01:18So the country can watch this game and enjoy it.

01:21So I'll be just like most Americans.

01:23I'll wake up in the morning and say, wow, what an awesome game that was that I did not

01:27get to watch.

01:28But you do see the respect that you're getting for Oklahoma City.

01:31That line opened up at two and a half at the FanDuel Sportsbook.

01:34It's now actually down to two live and a total of 227.

01:37I do like this as a tone setter for the season for OKC.

01:42Slight underdog price.

01:43Show me what you're worth.

01:44Show me you're ready to go this season.

01:46Go out and beat Denver opening night on the road.
