1.87Tip and bets
The bookmakers are betting on Oklahoma, and you can understand them: the comeback in the fifth match, the depth of the squad and the courage of Gilges-Alexander make Thunder a machine. But writing off Denver is like not believing in miracles. The failure in the fourth quarter of the fifth game probably burns their soul, and at home, where the fans are roaring like a jet engine, the Nuggets will come out with burning eyes. Jokic will pull again, Murray will turn on the playoff mode, but Porter or Brown needs to wake up, otherwise a vacation is inevitable. Oklahoma is not perfect yet, but their defense and bench are like a trump card up their sleeve. But Denver will seize the chance, hold the lead and move the series into the seventh game.
Our betting tip is that Denver will win with a handicap (+3.5) points, including overtime in 1.99
Bet on the total
This series is like a roller coaster: the first matches were an attacking carnival with 240+ points, but the last three went to less. We are waiting for the attack to return. The Thunder scored 110+ in three of the five games, while Denver fell in the fifth only because of the fourth quarter. At home, Jokic and Murray will be hurled like machine guns, and Gilges-Alexander and Williams will respond. The tension of the series reduces the overall score, but in the sixth match the points will flow like a river.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 216.5 points, including overtime in 2.03
The bet on the player
Hartenstein is like a vacuum cleaner under a ring. He has collected 10+ rebounds in the last three matches, and his average in the playoffs is 9.2. In the sixth match, against a tired Jokic and Gordon, he will dominate the shield again. I hope that Aizea will break through her bar.
Our betting tip is a total over Hartenstein of 10.5 rebounds in 1.98
