The Oklahoma City Thunder are best-backed to beat the Denver Nuggets in Game 3 on Friday night. Oklahoma City evened the series 1-1 with an emphatic 149-106 victory after letting Game 1 slip away.

For those who love to bet on NBA games, there are some value markets available for the Western Conference series.

 

Thunder vs Nuggets Semifinals Prediction

NBA finals futures firmed for the Thunder after a big Game 2 win, and they could repeat the dose.

I predict the Thunder winning 128-118, which is good enough to cash the spread and over.

 

Thunder vs Nuggets Best Player Props Today

  • Michael Porter Jr Under 11.5 Points (-120)

My NBA props include Michael Porter Jr under 10.5 points. He has been disappointing in this series, posting totals of two and eight points. His lack of production is why the Nuggets have struggled compared to recent years, and his struggles could continue in Game 3.

  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 32.5 Points (-112)

It’s good NBA betting news for bettors of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. He scored 34 points in limited minutes in Game 2, and I’ll happily take the same line for Game 3. He’s an elite scorer, and he has the best mid-range game in the NBA. The MVP contender is well worth including in picks.

  • Alex Caruso Over 2.5 Rebounds (-152)

Alex Caruso didn’t play many minutes in Game 2, but that was situational. The Thunder were so far in front that they were able to rest players. Caruso could grab a few rebounds, as we expect the Nuggets to put up plenty of shots.
