NBA Same Game Parlay Picks Today for Nuggets vs Thunder: Aaron Gordon Headlines My +236 SGP for May 15

On Thursday, May 15, the Denver Nuggets will host the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 6 of this Western Conference semifinal series, and this is the best NBA Same Game Parlay today.

The usual suspects are on the injury report. For the Nuggets, it's Hunter Tyson and DaRon Holmes, whereas Nikola Topic is on it for the Thunder. All three players are out.

Thunder ML

The Thunder moneyline, which is a standalone line of -185, leads off my NBA parlay predictions.

In Game 5, the Thunder came away with a 112-105 win at home against Denver.

In that game, the Thunder shot just 50% from the floor (41 of 82) and 12 of 29 from 3-point range (41.4%).

They lost to the Nuggets in the rebounding battle, 49-43.

Meanwhile, the Thunder defense held the Nuggets to 40 of 97 shooting (41.2%), and they also shot just 28.3% from 3-point range (13 of 46).

Both teams had 50 points in the paint.

Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 31 points, six rebounds, and seven assists in 39 minutes.

Isaiah Hartenstein added 15 points and seven boards while Chet Holmgren added another 14 points and eight boards.

Six players for Oklahoma City had double-digit points, including Jalen Williams, Holmgren, Hartenstein, Gilgeous-Alexander, Luguentz Dort, and Alex Caruso.

For the Nuggets, Nikola Jokic scored 44 points and 15 rebounds, and Aaron Gordon added 13 points, five rebounds, and three assists.

Over this postseason, when Gordon scores 20 or more, the team is 5-0.

When he has less than 20 points? 1-6.

They also got 28 points from Jamal Murray.

On the road in this series, the Thunder are averaging 98 points per game and are 1-1. This included a 92-87 win in a defensive battle. It seems as though the offense has really simmered in Denver compared to in Oklahoma City.

If I were to take a pick on the point spread, I'd take the Nuggets at +4.5,

In this one, though, with a Same Game Parlay, I'm just going to take the moneyline. This has been a tough series to peg.

Jokic put up 44, and Murray had 28 in Game 5, and the Nuggets still had just 105 points.

The Nuggets are 5-3 at home as a home underdog, whereas the Thunder are 23-16-2 as a road favorite.

Take the Thunder moneyline and get ready for a close nail-biter. They'll continue to hold the Nuggets down from beyond the arc.

Aaron Gordon 2+ Three-Pointers Made

The next leg of my NBA Same Game Parlay today is for Gordon to make two or more 3-point shots.

Over the five games in this series, Gordon has fallen short of this line just once—Game 5.

In Games 1 through 4, he had at least two in all of them.

He's averaging 5.4 attempts per game, including Game 2, in which he had just three attempts and made two of them.

On the season, he's shooting 43.6% from beyond the arc. That said, he typically averages just 3.4 attempts per game.

That's gone up in this series. He's shot under 50% twice, which came in Game 4 (42.9%) and Game 5 (20%).

So, if he continues to put up between five and six 3-point shots, based on volume alone, he should be able to get there.

During the regular season, he made two or more 3-point shots in 16 of 51 games.

That's a bad percentage, but when you look at the times he had at least five attempts, like he's been doing this postseason, he had two or more eight times on 10 tries.

The Thunder have been strong against the 3-point shot against the Nuggets this series, but at home in Game 3, the Nuggets shot 40% from beyond the arc.

Gordon will continue to fire from deep, especially in a do-or-die game.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 5+ Assists

One of the best parlay bets today in the NBA is for Gilgeous-Alexander to finish with five assists or more.

For this final leg, I wanted to hit something that's completely reasonable despite the poor line value.

Over this series, Gilgeous-Alexander has had five assists or more in every game.

In fact, he's had no less than six assists in any game.

He had six in Game 4, but he had eight in Games 1 and 2 and seven in Games 3 and 5.

The potential assist numbers for Gilgeous-Alexander have been insane over this series—he's averaging 18.6 per outing.

On the season, he's averaging 6.4 assists per game and has had five or more in 60 of 76 regular-season outings (78.9%).

This is an extremely safe third leg for an SGP.
