Denver Nuggets vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Game 7: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

The last remaining place in the Conference Finals will be decided on Sunday when Oklahoma City Thunder host Denver Nuggets in Game 7 of what has been a fascinating NBA Playoffs series.

Denver struck first with a 121-119 win in Game 1 and then they led 2-1 after OKC had drawn level, but the Nuggets lost two games in a row before forcing a decider with a 119-107 victory in Friday's Game 6.

Denver Nuggets vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Game 7 betting picks and predictions

Over 213.5 Points (-110)

OKC are the clear favorites in the Money Line at -340 but this game may be closer than that suggests. Denver Nuggets won the Championship two years ago and will feel they can claim another title this year if they are able to take out top seeds Oklahoma City Thunder.

Both of these teams will leave it all on the line on Sunday evening and the best angle for a game bet in this Game 7 looks to be backing over 213.5 points, rather than going for a Point Spread bet.

Four of the six games these teams have played so far have produced at least 214 points in regular time, and the two that went under that total were both played in Denver.

The Thunder have scored at least 112 points themselves in all five of their home games in the NBA Playoffs this season and four of those games have produced at least 214 points in total. The one exception was their opening postseason game against Memphis Grizzlies, and OKC scored 131 in that game but restricted Memphis to just 80.

Over 213.5 points would have been a winning bet in the final three regular season meetings between these two teams, and this has the potential to be another high-scoring contest. 

Chet Holmgren Over 14.5 Points (-120)

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is Oklahoma City Thunder’s main scoring threat and he could well beat his points line of over 31.5, but the better option is backing teammate Chet Holmgren to score at least 15.

Holmgren averaged 15 points-per-game in the regular season and that figure stands at 16 in the playoffs.

The Gonzaga product scored 19 points in Game 6 and has reached at least 15 points in three of the games in this series, finishing on 14 in one, and he can make a solid scoring contribution on Sunday as the Thunder look to win the decider.

Aaron Gordon Over 0.5 Steals (+110)

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon is a slight concern for Gamer 7 due to a left hamstring strain, but it seems more likely he will be involved in his team’s biggest game of the season.

Gordon has managed a steal in three of his last four games and he looks good value to manage at least one against OKC, having recorded eight in total in 13 games in the playoffs.
