Expert picks & predictions for Sunday’s Nuggets vs. Thunder game

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the Under in Game 7:

“Game 7’s are normally tight and after the first round tend to go Under 60% of the time when you go back the last 3, 5, and 10 years. The first and fourth quarters are grinds and role players tend to pass on shots and defer to the stars, so I lean Jokic and SGA Overs, but everything else tends to point toward Unders in Game 7’s.”
