The Oklahoma City Thunder, seeded, is back on their floor for match 5 and is looking to take the lead in the series for the first time in their second round match with the Denver Nuggets. The series is tied, 2-2, after OKC released a victory on the road to match 4 on Sunday.
The Nuggets scored only eight points in the first quarter of match 4 on Sunday afternoon, but they actually maintained the lead in the fourth quarter. Shai Gilgeous-Alexadner intensified late for OKC, and Thunder has outlined the 11-point nuggets in the last 12 minutes.
After scoring 42 points and encircling 22 rebounds in match 1 of this series, the Niggets star Nikola Jokić was held in check by the Thunder. Jokić scored 21.3 points per game in the last three games and collected a total of 15 assists.

I think Nikola Jokić will start to score again at his typical level. He is not doing his 3S at the moment. But he did not exceed six assists once in this series. Oklahoma City is determined to remove all the easy Denver in the basket cuts, and given how unreliable 3 -point shooters are on Jokić to accumulate 3S aid seems risky. This line always treats Jokić as a triple-double machine. He was not one in this series. The choice: Jokić under 8.5 assists
