Our Denver Nuggets vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction

The Nuggets have been underdogs in every game in this series and will once again be underdogs in Game 7. Denver has done well to keep every game close and has covered in every game in this series, minus the blowout loss in Game 2, which has since become an outlier.

While both teams have been excellent at times in this series, the Nuggets appear to be the most consistent team in the series. If you take out the 46-point loss in Game 2, the Thunder have beaten the Nuggets by 5 and 7 points in Games 4 and 5, respectively. 

With this being a winner takes all Game 7, it is highly unlikely that Oklahoma City will blowout Denver like they did in Game 2. For that reason, our Oklahoma City Thunder vs Denver Nuggets prediction is: Denver Nuggets +7.5.

Prediction:

 

Denver Nuggets +7.5
