After two straight heartbreaking losses to the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Denver Nuggets delivered in a big way to win Game 6.

Now, everything rides on a Game 7 showdown at Oklahoma City, with a trip to the Western Conference Finals hanging in the balance.

As the Thunder prepare to host the decisive game, not everyone believes they’re prepared for the moment, and FOX Sports host Nick Wright offered his candid assessment of the situation.

“OKC might not be ready yet,” Wright said on “First Things First.”

The Thunder possess both talent and home-court advantage, but the Nuggets bring championship experience and a relentless competitive drive.

For Oklahoma City to advance, it must shoot with precision, maintain defensive focus, avoid unnecessary fouls, and receive clutch performances from its stars.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will need to continue his strong performance and lead the team with scoring and playmaking. His ability to create opportunities for himself and his teammates will be key in Game 7.

Following a Game 5 home victory, and the struggles of the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Thunder emerged as championship favorites.

The momentum has since shifted, and though Oklahoma City remains the frontrunner, oddsmaker confidence has slightly diminished with a pressure-packed Game 7 approaching.

Whoever emerges victorious between the Thunder and Nuggets will face the surging Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals.
