NBA playoffs tomorrow May 6 schedule: The second game Nuggets PK Thunder, Jokic PK Alexander, Westbrook Returns to Russia

At 9:30 on May 6, there will be two games in the NBA playoffs tomorrow, including the first game of the second Western Conference Semi-Finals, and the Denver Nuggets will play away in the Oklahoma City Thunder! In the first round, the Nuggets fought hard after 7 games and finally defeated the Clippers 120-101 in the tiebreak battle, thus narrowly defeating the Clippers with a score of 4-3. The Thunder were very relaxed in the first round and swept the Grizzlies 4-0!

Jokic and Murray

Nuggets consumed much more than the Thunder. The last time the Thunder played the game was on April 27. They received more than a week's rest time. The Nuggets and the Clippers' tiebreak ended yesterday, and they rushed to Oxford City without stopping. Their physical fitness is a hidden danger. Judging from playing time, Jokic, Murray, Gordon, Braun, Porter Jr., Westbrook and Watson are all players with double-time playing time, which means that the Nuggets only have 7 standard rotations. Watson's average playing time is 13.6 minutes, the fewest of these 7 players.

Nuggets eliminated the Clippers 4-3

Although the stage in the playoffs is less rotation and uses the main starters with all their strength, on the other hand, the Nuggets' substitutes are very bad, and they lack qualified stable substitutes. This is also the reason why the Nuggets lose points continuously and are unable to play in the connection as long as the main players such as Jokic rests. The problem of shortage of staff in Westbrook and the old master is a fact, and the Nuggets can only find ways to overcome it themselves. The Thunder's lineup is younger and has a stronger impact than the Clippers. The Nuggets must stabilize the pace and reduce mistakes. Jokic averaged 24 points, 11.6 rebounds and 10.1 assists in the first round, and his data was very beautiful. In fact, he played very uncomfortable under Zubac's defense. The Thunder's inside players include Homegren and Harten. They are not traditional No. 5 centers, but modern inside players with flexible steps and delicate touch. Jokic must give full play to his weight advantage.

The Thunder swept the Grizzlies

In addition to Jokic's performance, Murray, Braun, Porter Jr. and others' touch is also critical. Westbrook is the Nuggets' biggest X-factor. He played 5 times in the first round against the Clippers, averaging 13.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage is 43%. Westbrook is a player with very obvious advantages and disadvantages. His three-point shooting percentage in the first round has already punished the Clippers, which depends on whether the Thunder can continue to explode against his old club.

The Thunder are more mature than last season. The 4-0 sweep of the Grizzlies in the first round is the best proof. Alexander averaged 27.8 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists per game, and Williams averaged 23.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game. ESPN predicts the G1 winning rate tomorrow. The Thunder has a 75.4% chance of winning, while the Nuggets is only 24.6%. Let's wait and see whether the Thunder, who plays at home, can defend their home court and achieve a good start.
