Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the NBA match.
The score in the series is. The next game will define how it ends. A side that will lead after the fifth match will almost guarantee the finals. Both teams will be highly motivated.
Oklahoma City Thunder
The attacking line of the Thunder played weaker after the amazing first two games of the series. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander only scored 21.5 points on average, although usually he scores around 30 points. Chet Holmgren has scored 13.2 points on average in the series, which is a problem too. This situation should be fixed as soon as possible. However, it doesn’t seem to be a sure thing.
Denver Nuggets
Nikola Jokić failed the third game of the series and made his best to fix it in the fourth one. He scored 27 points with 13 rebounds. It wasn’t enough to win, though (87:92). The Nuggets use the main weapons of the Thunder-free throws. The Nuggets’ players had 121 attempts compared to 112 the Thunder had. This is a good chance to remain in the game even in a tough situation.
Oklahoma City Thunder vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
Yes, the Thunder won the last game. They were not confident, though. They only had a 5-point lead. No big lead is expected in the fifth game either. The Nuggets’ leaders will remain focused.
