The No. 1-seeded OKC Thunder will continue its 2025 NBA Playoffs run with Game 4 against the No. 4 Denver Nuggets.
OKC will face Denver on the road at 2:30 p.m. CT Sunday. The Thunder trails 2-1 in the second-round series following a 113-104 overtime road loss on Friday.
Here’s a preview of the Thunder-Nuggets game, including score predictions, betting odds and injury updates.
Thunder vs. Nuggets prediction, picks
Justin Martinez: OKC 120, Denver 114
After losing Game 1, OKC responded well in Game 2. It cruised to a 149-106 win, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way with 34 points and eight assists. The Thunder will need another performance like that on Sunday with its back against the wall once again. I’m expecting Gilgeous-Alexander to rebound from his Game 3 struggles and help OKC tie this series at 2-2.
