The NBA announced the lineup of referees handling the pivotal Game 6 matchup between the two sides. Marc Davis is the crew chief, which has sent Nuggets fans into a frenzy.
Jamal Murray is questionable with an illness for Game 6 between the Denver Nuggets and the OKC Thunder on Thursday.
The Denver Nuggets have made 31 trips to the playoffs during their time in the NBA. They have five appearances in the Conference Finals to show for it. Let’s highlight each of those seasons and discuss the results of each series.
The 2025 NBA Playoffs have not been kind of the Nuggets starter. Porter Jr. is averaging a subpar 9.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 0.7 assists per game for the Nuggets, while shooting 38.8 percent from the field and 36.1 percent from 3-point land.
If the Thunder is to close out the Nuggets in Game 6 on Thursday night, a little better luck from behind the arc wouldn’t hurt.
Denver was last in the league in 3-point attempts per game during the regular season (31.9), but that number has jumped to 38.5 3PA in the four contests against OKC. In their first-round series versus the LA Clippers, the Nuggets fired up an average of just 29.0 3PA across seven games.
Oklahoma City had its back against the wall on Sunday afternoon, but managed to come away with a win after a solid showing down the stretch.
This has not been Nikola Jokic’s finest hour, but according to Charles Barkley, the NBA has not done the Nuggets superstar any favors.
