The Oklahoma City Thunder are firm -11 favorites with NBA odds to tie the series at 1-1 against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night. Oklahoma City blew an 11-point lead with less than five minutes to play in Game 1 as Aaron Gordon’s 3-pointer with 2.8 seconds remaining gave Denver a 121-119 victory.

 

Nuggets vs Thunder NBA Semifinals Prediction

NBA finals odds have the Thunder at -11 in Game 2, and it’s tough to disagree with the line.

I predict the Thunder winning 128-115, and they should hold on to the big lead this time around.

 

Nuggets vs Thunder Best NBA Player Props Today

  • Aaron Gordon Under 16.5 Points (-118)

Gordon came up big for the Nuggets in Game 1. He made the 3-pointer to put them ahead in the last seconds, and finished with 22 points. It’s his second consecutive game with 22 points, but the high of Monday’s win counts against him. He could struggle to get as open, with the Thunder likely to play better defense. Under 16.5 is one of my best NBA prop bets today.

  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 33.5 Points (-112)

The latest NBA betting news suggests the line could move to around 34.5 points, so take Shai Gilgeous-Alexander over 33.5. He had a good scoring performance in Game 1, and I expect him to go off on the Nuggets in Game 2. He’s the biggest scoring threat on the floor, and he should make that known.

  • Chet Holmgren Over 7.5 Rebounds (-139)

My NBA picks today have Chet Holmgren over 7.5 rebounds. I expect Denver to put up many misses, and Holmgrem should be there to mop up the boards. It’s another generous line from the BetUS sportsbook.

Nuggets vs Thunder Moneyline Pick

The odds aren’t massive, but the Thunder ML is worth including in NBA parlays. They should easily take Game 2 and head to Denver looking to steal a win on the road. There has been no money for the Nuggets despite taking the opener.

Nuggets vs Thunder Spread Pick

My NBA prop picks today include Thunder -11. They are the better team, and despite losing Game 1 in shocking fashion, they are good enough to bounce back and produce their best playoff performance. It will take a full team effort, but it’s the best bet.

Nuggets vs Thunder Over/Under Pick

It should be a good offensive game for the Thunder, who could score close to 130. With that being the case, over 230 is worth including in picks. It should be a free-flowing game with buckets made on both sides, and it could go over by some margin.

Bet on Nuggets vs Thunder over 230 points (-110)
