00:00a game seven on sunday afternoon in oklahoma city jy the thunder who have been booked as a favorite

00:06in all six games of this series of course three and three now straight up and just one and five

00:11against the spread the thunder in the previous three games in okc a double digit favorite what

00:18are the numbers for game seven early just a seven and a half point spread in favor of the thunder

00:23at home in a total of 212 what is at stake for this young core in okc led by sga coached by mark

00:32it is their first spot in the western conference finals the first for the thunder as a team

00:38since 2016 on the other side for nicole jokic and his denver nuggets a third trip to the western

00:45conference finals in the previous six seasons and of course that championship pedigree showing through

00:51forcing this game seven they won the title just two seasons ago jy a game seven and a seven and a

00:59half point spread what are your early thoughts for game number seven sunday in oklahoma city

01:04honestly the best thing i think i like is the under 212 i think you look at a team like denver they have

01:10gotten this game guys in this series to be played at their pace walking up the floor half court basketball

01:16and lean on uh nicole yoke to kind of get them through uh i i do like the under and i just think

01:24it's too many points i think denver will find a way to keep this game extremely close to the best

01:29and make this a competitive game so i i am looking at this uh to go really tight plus a seven and a half

01:36under 212 interesting thing nicole yoke again missed the triple double i want to say that's eight

01:41straight games that he's had under a triple that has not a triple double there's got to be one

01:47coming at some point where they slow it down give it to him and if you are oklahoma city you're going

01:53to try and make other guys beat you in that spot right now plus 165 on a fan duel sports book nicole

01:59yoke to have a triple double and also when you talk about teams returning home typically you know

02:04we expect sga road home doesn't wherever to play great same thing with nicole yoke i take a look at

02:09jalen williams underwhelming in his last game here give me some other players that on both teams

02:13coach that need to step up in a game number seven that could be those unsung heroes in a big moment

02:18well i mean when you talk about obviously you know denver you to me it's aaron gordon i know he was

02:24you know 12 points but he's been really making big shots after big shots have improved his three-point

02:29shot uh i take a look at him uh and other side i'm gonna look at chet holmgren he did have a double

02:35double last game he's gonna have to step up i think williams will play better in his home building

02:40and then look at a three-point prop a guy like lou dort who's not afraid even though he's known for

02:45his defense to take the three and taking a bunch of threes maybe that's the guy especially when

02:50he gets off early you shade off of someone else look at lou dort to fire up a bunch of threes come game
