This should be an entertaining game as the revamped Denver roster, without Melo, has stepped-up and played well since the trade. Oklahoma City closed the season strong, and the offense appears to be peaking as they enter the playoffs, averaging 110.5 points per game in their last six. The Nuggets had been playing at a higher level on defense, but down the stretch they regressed back to the run-and-gun team we have seen the past several years, allowing 107 points per game in their last four. The Nuggets have shown the desire for the up-tempo come playoffs time, and have gone 5-1 to the OVER in their last six quarterfinals playoff games. Oklahoma City is putting the offense in over-drive at home with a 20-5-1 mark to the OVER as a home favorite of 5-10.5 in their last 21. This one goes OVER the posted total.
