It goes without saying that Nikola Jokic is asked to do a lot. Arguably more than any other player in the NBA. On any given night he’s required to be Denver’s top scorer, rebounder, even facilitator with his passing game — but asking him to coach might be beyond the pale.

Jokić fueled a second-half comeback against the Thunder in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals with 42 points and 22 rebounds before Gordon hit a game-winning three in the final seconds to give Denver a 121-119 win.

The Thunder enter the second round as NBA title favorites with +135 odds at Bet365. They're also the heavy Western Conference favorites at -225. The sixth-seeded Timberwolves and seventh-seeded Warriors are squaring off in the West's other second-round matchup after Golden State's Game 7 win on Sunday.
