Game #7 – Western Conference Semifinals (Series tied 3-3)
Matchup Breakdown:
The Denver Nuggets forced a Game 7 with a 119–107 victory in Game 6, highlighted by Nikola Jokić's 29 points, 14 rebounds, and 8 assists. Jamal Murray added 25 points despite battling illness, and Julian Strawther contributed 15 points off the bench.
However, the Nuggets face uncertainty with Aaron Gordon's status. Gordon, averaging 14.5 points and 9.2 rebounds in the series, is questionable due to a left hamstring strain suffered in Game 6. His potential absence could impact Denver's defensive versatility and rebounding. It looks like Gordon is going to be out — it’s not really the type of injury you can play through. Brutal luck for Denver.
The Thunder have been dominant at home, boasting a 35-6 regular-season record at Paycom Center. I think OKC closes it out — I wish Gordon was playing — if he was, I was going to take Denver with the points. 8.5 is a lot of points here, but it’s going to be hard for Denver to stay in this one on the road (in a situation where role players generally step up at home and not on the road). Denver is going to need a massive game out of some random player — maybe Russel Westbrook.
Key Trends:
Thunder are 35-6 at home during the regular season.
Nuggets are 24-17 on the road during the regular season.
The total has gone over in 4 of the 6 games in this series.

Game #1 – Eastern Conference Finals
Matchup Breakdown:
The New York Knicks enter the Eastern Conference Finals after a commanding 119–81 victory over the Boston Celtics in Game 6, marking their first conference finals appearance since 2000. Jalen Brunson has been instrumental, leading the team with consistent scoring and playmaking.
The Indiana Pacers advanced by defeating the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers in five games. Tyrese Haliburton has been a standout performer, averaging 19.8 points and 9.2 assists per game in the playoffs.
This series rekindles a storied playoff rivalry between the Knicks and Pacers. I like Indiana as an underdog in this first game. I think this series will probably go 7 games and will have momentum swinging back and forth.
Key Trends:
Knicks are 27-14 at home during the regular season.
Pacers are 20-20 on the road during the regular season.
The total has gone over in 2 of the 3 regular-season meetings between these teams.
