Premium Pick

The regular season seedings haven't meant much in these playoffs. No. 1-seeded Cleveland: gone. Defending champion Boston: upset by the Knicks. Now No. 1 seed Oklahoma City finds itself playing a Game 7 against a Denver squad that won the NBA title two years ago. The Nuggets also have a superstar in Nikola Jokić. Denver is on an 8-2-1 ATS run and has won three games in this series as an underdog. They won, 119-107, as a +5.5 dog, won 113-104, as a +6 underdog, and on this floor, 121-119, as a +10.5 dog. The veteran visitors have more than enough talent, defense, and confidence to win again. Play Denver on the moneyline.
