Game 4 of the NBA Playoff series between the Denver Nuggets and the Oklahoma City Thunder will come to us from the Ball Arena on Sunday night. The Nuggets pulled off a thrilling O/T victory over OKC in Game 3 to take the lead in the series 2-1. Let’s get into the match prediction.
After suffering a historic blowout defeat in midweek, the Denver Nuggets rebounded excellently in Game 3, and for the third time in the Playoffs, Aaron Gordon drained a clutch final basket, this time to force overtime.
Ahead of the last match, we mentioned Michael Porter Jr needed to step up for Denver to have a chance, and he did just that, draining five of six three-point attempts to finish with 21 points.
Gordon, Porter Jr and Jamal Murray all surpassed the 20-point mark, which was encouraging and necessary for the Nuggets, given Nikola Jokic had a subpar outing by his lofty standards.
Meanwhile, Game 3 resembled Game 1 of this series for the Oklahoma City Thunder, as they led for the majority of the match but could not put the contest to bed, which cost them dearly.
After being forced into overtime, OKC only managed two points in the extra period, owing largely to a rare poor showing from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who shot 7 of 22 for 18 points.
The biggest positive for the Thunder was the performance of Jalen Williams, who recorded his best figures in this season’s Playoffs with 32 points. Chet Holmgren added 18 points and 16 rebounds.

Our Denver Nuggets vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction
Given how this series has gone, all indicators suggest that it will likely go the distance, with both sides alternating in producing winning performances. Of course, that makes it all the more difficult to hang your hat on an outcome with much confidence.
The trend of the series also arguably suggests that this match should go over the points line, with Jokic and SGA expected to turn up. However, we like the look of Westbrook going over 10 points. He had his only single-digit return of the Playoffs in Game 3 (barring an early injury exit against the Clippers) and we feel he will make an impact off the bench in this one. Our Denver Nuggets vs Oklahoma City Thunder prediction is Russell Westbrook 10+ points.
If your team in the Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder game takes a 20-point lead, you win!
