Denver Nuggets Money Line (+128)

Aaron Gordon 1+ Made Threes (-140)

Kevin Durant to Record 2+ Blocks (+145)

Parlay odds: +807

Denver Nuggets Money Line (+128)

The Nuggets managed to pull away in a decisive 3rd quarter which they won by 14 points and ultimately came out on top 118-102 in Game 5. Nikola Jokic continued putting up numbers with another triple-double, he has been lighting up the Suns in this series. Phoenix will once again be without Chris Paul, and with Devin Booker cooling off there are a lot of reasons to be concerned if you’re a Suns fan heading into Game 6. Having Kevin Durant on the team does help as he’s averaging 30.2 points per game when facing elimination, but it will take a complete team effort to beat these Nuggets and I’m just not sure the Suns have enough depth. They have to play a perfect game offensively in order to win here and hope that Jokic and the Nuggets have an off night. Denver was close to winning in both Games 3 and 4, I think they finally do it on the road in Game 6 and close this thing out. If not, then they’re definitely doing so in Game 7. I’ll take Denver on the Money Line here.

Aaron Gordon 1+ Made Threes (-140)

Although his numbers aren’t the flashiest, Aaron Gordon has put together a really solid series for the Nuggets here as the 3rd or even 4th scoring option at times. Gordon does a lot more for this team than scoring, in fact he has the best +/- score through the first 5 games at +71 when on the floor. He logs an average of 37.8 minutes per game as well, which is 3rd on the team only behind Jokic and Murray. His three-point shot is often overlooked, but that doesn’t deter him from letting it fly from deep. So far in the series he failed to make a three only once and that was in Game 3 when he went 0-for-3. He’s cleared this line in 7 of 10 games so far this postseason, and after shooting 33.3% from three in Round 1 he has upped that to almost 43% in Round 2. Phoenix has showed signs of slowing down in terms of defending the perimeter, Denver is averaging 38% makes from three in the last 3 games. With Gordon’s ability to shoot and bully his way on the inside, I just don’t think the Suns have a solution for him on defense.

Kevin Durant to Record 2+ Blocks (+145)

Speaking of solutions on defense, KD has been one for the Suns even though he’s also contributing a ton on the other end putting up 30.8 points per game. Durant has recorded at least 1 block in every single game in this series, and in 3 of the 5 games he’s blocked 2 or more shots. Ayton’s struggles are well documented in this series, the Suns have a point differential of -59 with him on the floor which basically means that Durant has now become the main rim protector in this series. Over the last 3 games the Nuggets are just abusing the Suns down low scoring an average of 58 points per game, so there will be plenty of opportunities for Durant to block a couple of shots here. My only concern is that he will lose a ton of energy on offense having to put up 30+ points for the Suns to even stand a chance here, but let’s hope that’s not the case.
