The posted total is inflated due to Oklahoma City's scoring explosion in Game 2 when the Thunder put up 87 points in the first half, which set a playoff record, and shot 56 percent for the game while hitting 16 of 36 3-point tries. Obviously, the Nuggets suffered a massive letdown especially on the defensive end after pulling off a last-second win in Game 1. That won't happen again on Denver's home court as the Nuggets will make adjustments to slow down the Thunder offense and the defense will be intensified from the start of the game. Oklahoma City is allowing 104.8 points and Denver 114.0 so far in the 2025 playoffs. Take the UNDER.
