Game Preview
Aaron Gordon is Denver’s hero so far in the playoffs. Not only did he win Game 1 vs. OKC, but he also created a swing for the upcoming events. The veteran forward had 22 points and 14 boards.
Jokic once again made history with 42 points, 22 boards, and six assists. This is the fifth time in playoff history that 40+ points, 20+ rebounds, and 5+ dimes have been recorded. Murray scored 21 with 6 boards and dimes. Russell Westbrook entered off the bench to add 18 points.
OKC was ahead of the rivals since the first quarter and led the game by as many as 14 points. However, they froze, allowing the Nuggets to come back and steal Game 1.

Shai scored 33 points, had 10 boards, and had 8 assists. Chet Holmgren was 0-for-3 from the free-throw line, missing two key attempts, which led to Gordon’s three. Instead of securing the win, he is to be blamed for this loss. Alex Caruso entered off the bench to add 20 buckets.
Nuggets vs. Thunder Head to Head
Both teams won two games each in the regular-season series. Two went over, and two went under the TOTAL line.
Nuggets vs. Thunder Game 2 Predictions & Picks
OKC now has to be super aggressive, and they should answer in Game 2. However, seeing them as 11.5-point favorites force us to bet on the Nuggets to defend the spread. Don’t forget, Jokic and the boys were champions two years ago, and this NBA monyline and spread are underestimating the Nuggets.
