While he has struggled from the floor this season (20-for-62 shooting), Tatum scored 42 on 16-for-28 shooting before the injury occurred. Jalen Brunson also stuffed the stat sheet in Game 4 (39 points, 12 assists). With a 3-1 lead, the Knicks are now favored to win the second-round series at -525.

Both teams struggled from the field, with the Nuggets shooting 31.2% and the Thunder shooting 35.6%. Oklahoma City did sweep its first-round series and remains favored to win this series at -525, as well as the NBA Finals at +115.

Wolves (6) vs. Warriors (7)

Curry is set to be re-evaluated this week, and reports are that Game 6 is the earliest possible return for the franchise star. The Wolves have won the last three games of the series, and are on the brink of making the conference finals for a second straight season.
