Isaiah Hartenstein, Over 19.5 Points/Rebounds 

NBA Odds: -105 at FanDuel

We took this Over on Tuesday, and we’ll do it again here. Hartenstein averaged 21.9 combined points and rebounds this season. In five games so far this series vs. the Nuggets, he’s totaled 21, 22, 20, 22, and 22. He had 27 and 21 totals in the two regular-season games vs. Denver, too. The number doesn’t change, so neither will our backing.

Michael Porter Jr., Over 8.5 Points 

NBA Odds: -120 at DraftKings

The Nuggets forward has been a shocking non-factor in four of the five games this series vs. OKC. He averaged over 18 ppg on the season, but has scored over three points just twice, and over eight points only once. He blamed himself for the losses in Games 4 and 5. It isn’t too much to ask a determined Porter to at least score half of his average.

Russell Westbrook, Over 9.5 Points 

NBA Odds: -105 at BetMGM

Foul trouble and poor shooting have limited Westbrook in the last three games. He’s a brutal 3-for-19 over the last two, both Nuggets losses, and fouled out in one of them. The series returns to Denver, and Westbrook averaged 14.8 ppg at home, compared to 11.8 on the road. He scored 18 and 19 in the first two games, so we know he can do it again vs. the Thunder.
