Game 6 of this Western Conference series between the Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder will take place on Thursday and will be played in Denver. Let’s take a look at the match statistics and predictions for this crucial Game 6 as the Thunder look to close out the series and advance to the Western Conference Finals, while the Nuggets look to push the series to a deciding Game 7.

Denver enters this game in a must-win situation after losing in Game 6 by a score of 112-105. The Nuggets had just three players score in double figures in Game 5, that being Aaron Gordon with 13 points, Jamal Murray with 28 points, and Nikola Jokic with a game-high 44 points. This tells us that Denver did not get enough production from their other starters and bench, a problem that must be solved if they want to extend this series.

As for Oklahoma City, they can now wrap up this series with a win in Game 6 and will have to do it on the road, something they have already managed to do in this series. The Thunder had six players score in double figures in Game 5, including all five of their starters. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way for the Thunder, scoring 31 points.

  1. Nikola Jokic is averaging 30 points per game in the series
  2. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 28.2 points per game in the series

Our Denver Nuggets vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction

The Thunder have started to flex their muscles in this series, having won two straight games now, and are small favorites to close this series out in Game 6. Oklahoma City is now averaging 115.2 points per game over the first five games of this series, no doubt helped by their 149-point outburst in Game 2. Despite that, the Thunder are still allowing just 106.4 points per game, and besides Jokic and Murray, no one on Denver has hurt the Thunder too much.

Oklahoma City has simply had a more balanced offense throughout this entire series, and therefore, should be able to put the final touches on a series that pushed them to the limit. For that reason, our Denver Nuggets vs Oklahoma City Thunder prediction is: Oklahoma City Thunder ML.
