Nuggets vs. Thunder Prediction, Betting Pick, Latest NBA Playoffs Odds for Game 7
It's only fitting that the Nuggets vs. Thunder series goes to a Game 7.
Four of the six previous games have come down to the wire, and both teams probably feel like they should have already won this series. Oklahoma City could have easily won Game 1 and Game 3, while Denver led entering the fourth quarter of Game 4 and Game 5.
In the midst of such a back-and-forth affair, we are left with a Game 7 in Oklahoma City. This will be the Nuggets' seventh Game 7 since 2019, so they should be ready for the moment, but the Thunder have played better at home this postseason.
This series has been loaded with competitive games, and we should be in for another classic this afternoon.
Here's a look at the picks, predictions, and odds for Sunday's Western Conference second-round Game 7 clash between the Nuggets and Thunder.

Nuggets vs. Thunder Game 7 Prediction
Six games have not been enough to decide Nuggets vs. Thunder, and each game felt as unpredictable as the next.
So, through all the MVP performances and blown fourth-quarter leads, it's appropriate this second-round series ends with a Game 7.
Series favorite Oklahoma City enters this game as an eight-point home favorite. The Thunder are deserved favorites in their home arena, but that is too many points.
Four of the six games in this series have come down to the final minutes. OKC's Game 2 blowout was the outlier and I just don't see it pulling away too far from a Denver team that already has six Game 7 experiences under its belt.
Aaron Gordon's hamstring injury certainly doesn't help the Nuggets, but I think they can survive without him for one game. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray can handle the offensive load, and Christian Braun, Peyton Watson and Julian Strawther can assume his role as a perimeter defender.
He'll still be missed, but I think Denver can overcome his absence, or at least keep it close.
The core of this Nuggets team is familiar with the pressures and rhythms of a Game 7, and Jokic and Murray can power Denver to keep pace with OKC. Take the points and go with the Nuggets to cover.
