1.87Tip and bets
Oklahoma put on a show in the second match, tearing up Denver by a 43-point margin. Gilges-Alexander, Holmgren, Williams — it's like a young gang that runs and abandons without looking back. Their 68 regular season wins are a sign of their quality. Denver got a slap in the face, but at home in Colorado, Jokic, Murray and Westbrook will come out with burning eyes. They stole the first match on the road, proving that they can bite. The defeat in the second is a lesson, and Adelman probably figured out the mistakes, especially in defense. The bookmakers are betting on Oklahoma, but Jokic and company will cling to every ball, and the match will become a real meat grinder.
Our betting tip is for Denver to win with a handicap of (+6.5) points, including overtime in 1.71
Bet on the total
These teams are like two orchestras playing in the heavy metal basketball genre. The last five face-to-face matches scored 230 points, and in the second match they scored 255. Oklahoma runs and throws, Denver responds with Jokic's power and Murray's precision. We are waiting for Gilges-Alexander, Jokic and their gangs to start a shootout again, breaking through the total with a margin. It will be like a basketball firecracker, where the score will fly into space.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 236.5 points, including overtime in 2.03
The bet on the player
Jokic is like basketball's Mozart, second in the playoffs in assists with 9.2 assists per game. Even in the defeat in the second match, he was close to a double-double, and in the first he broke up altogether. At the age of 30, he sees the playground as if he is playing chess, and at home, in front of his fans, he will show class again. We expect him to score 10.5 assists, passing like hot cakes, and prove that he is the best Nuggets passer and one of the best in the league.
Our betting tip is a total over Jokic of 10.5 assists in 1.98
