Oklahoma Thunder - Denver Nuggets: betting tip and bets on the NBA match

Current form

On May 16, the Oklahoma City Thunder couldn't handle the pressure in the sixth game of the quarterfinal series on the road and lost to Denver - 107-119. And now, as in a good Hollywood action movie, we are waiting for the denouement in the seventh act — the score in the series is 3-3. Although it would seem that Mark Dagnolt's guys met the break with a three—point advantage - 61:58. But after... classics of the genre by Mike Malone. The Nuggets turned on the playoff mode: a 10-2 spurt at the end of the third quarter - and they rolled out to the finish line with a solid handicap of +8.

The leader of the guests, of course, was the restless Shay Gilges-Alexander with 32 points, three rebounds and six assists. The fragile but spiteful Chet Holmgren also contributed 19 points and 11 rebounds. Lugenz Dort, Alex Caruso and the young Cian Wells each shipped a dozen. Jaylen Williams became the best on the billboards (ten) — but, admittedly, more was expected of him. Recall that Oklahoma finished the regular season first: 68 wins and only 14 losses.

Current form

And here's the answer from Denver. In the sixth game, Malone's team showed that there was nothing wrong with character here: they beat the best team in the West, equalized the series and turned all this fun into a pan or gone format. And who would doubt that the Nuggets, with Nikola Jokic as conductor, is always a treacherous rival.

The shop is especially worth noting. Russell Westbrook, it would seem, is no longer the same, but he came out and did his job (eight points). Julian Strawther is the very young spark that can ignite a flame. He had probably the best game of the playoffs: 15 points and a lot of emotions. Penalty fees? Yes, please: 27 out of 32! And Oklahoma had 10 out of 16. Jokic scored the classic 29 points, Jamal Murray - 25, but the hero of the evening was Christian Brown, who unexpectedly broke the ring by 23 points. Aaron Gordon didn't go. David Adelman's team finished fourth in the conference with 50 wins, but it doesn't matter anymore. The match of the entire series is on the agenda.

Disqualifications and injuries

The Nuggets arrived in full combat strength, with the exception of a minor issue on Aaron Gordon. But, apparently, he will come out.

Interesting facts for betting

On average, Denver scores 111 points per game against Oklahoma (based on the last ten meetings).
