Thunder vs Nuggets Game 6 Odds

The Thunder were able to pull off a comeback win at home in Game 5, giving them a 3-2 series lead coming into Game 6. Legal sports betting sites favor the Thunder to come out with a win tonight and clinch the series victory.

Don’t count out Denver though. At +150 odds, the best bet for this game is to take Denver to win outright.

Denver has gone 4-2 at home so far during this year’s playoffs, and in their only home loss this series, they shot 31% from the field and 24% from three. The chances of such a poor shooting performance repeating itself are little to none.

Michael Porter Jr. has provided almost no production to the Nuggets this series, scoring no more than eight points in all but Game 3, where he scored 21 in a home victory. If he can get a few shots to fall, Denver will have a good shot of winning the game.

Denver held an eight point lead entering the fourth quarter of Game 5 before being outscored by 15 points in the final stretch. If they can put together a full four quarters, they can come out with a victory.

Bet On Jamal Murray In The Clutch

Jamal Murray has become synonymous with clutch performance over the past few seasons, which is why betting on him to score over 21.5 points at -130 odds is a smart play.

Murray scored 28 points in Game 5 and has scored over 20 points in three of his five games this series.

Throughout these playoffs, Murray has scored about 22 points per game and legal NBA betting sites set his line right around that figure.

In his playoff career, he has averaged 23.9 points per game, a noticeable difference from his career average of 18 points per game during the regular season.

Additionally, Murray has averaged 27.8 points per game while shooting 49.4% from the field and 41.1% from three in elimination games in his career.

With the majority of the Nuggets’ team struggling to score the ball, expect Murray to have the green light to fire at will. Don’t be surprised if Murray goes for 30 or more points tonight in an elimination game.
