The Denver Nuggets will host Game 6 of the semifinal series against the Oklahoma City Thunder at Ball Arena on Thursday, May 15.

Following a series sweep performance of 4-0, the Oklahoma City Thunder currently hold the upper hand in the series with back-to-back wins. In their recent game, they secured a commanding 112-105 win, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s crucial 31 points giving them a 3-2 series lead. Apart from SGA, Isaiah Hartenstein and Jalen Williams contributed significantly to the win.

On the other hand, after having a 4-3 close victory in the first-round series, the Denver Nuggets started their semifinal journey with a decent 121-119 win. As the series progresses, they seem a little consistent. Despite Nikola Jokic’s impressive 44 points and 15 rebounds, the Nuggets lose Game 5 to the Thunder. Moreover, Jamal Murray struggled with 28 points on poor shooting. Leading after three quarters, the Nuggets lost their strength late, missing crucial shots.

In game 6, the Nuggets will heavily rely on another strong performance from their key player, Nikola Jokic, supported by Jamal Murray’s efficient offense. The Thunder will look for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to continue his scoring dominance, complemented by Jalen Williams’ strategic play and Chet Holmgren’s rim protection. The outcome will depend on bench support and late-game execution.
