The Western Conference Semifinals continue on May 19 as the Oklahoma City Thunder host the Denver Nuggets in a critical matchup.

Tip-off is set for 3:30 AM (PH time). The Thunder enter as 1.327 favorites, while the Nuggets are listed at 4.035. This reflects Oklahoma City’s strong home court advantage and recent playoff form. The total is set at 213.5, suggesting expectations of a moderately high-scoring contest.

Oklahoma City has leaned heavily on its young core throughout the postseason. Their speed and transition play have overwhelmed slower opponents. Denver, meanwhile, is looking to regroup after struggling with consistency. Jokic will need a standout performance to keep his team in contention, especially against a Thunder squad that defends the paint well.

Expect the Thunder to push the pace early while the Nuggets attempt to control tempo and find mismatches. Bench production and perimeter shooting could be the deciding factors in a game that may come down to execution in the fourth quarter.
