Thunder at Mavericks picks and predictions
Prediction
Mavericks 113, Thunder 108
Moneyline
PASS.
The Mavs have been good enough at home to validate their (-350) moneyline odds, but they, like with the Thunder to win outright, are unplayable.
Against the spread
LEAN THUNDER +8.5 (-110).
Oklahoma City has been far better ATS than Dallas this season.
The Thunder are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games. While the Mavs are 3-1-1, they were destroyed on the road in their last performance and are just 4-5-1 ATS in their last 10.
While Mavs G Luka Doncic may be in the MVP talk more often, Thunder G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been just as good. SGA is averaging 30.8 points per game and has the talent to keep this game close.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 227.5 (-105).
Both the Mavs and Thunder sit in the top 5 in turnover rate, so this game should be more of a half-court battle with few transition opportunities. Both teams are 16-10 O/U, so some regression could be due.
The Thunder have gone Under in 3 straight games as well. The Mavs sit 29th in pace and should have this game played as their pace, especially at home.
While the Mavs are 7th in offensive rebounding rate, the Thunder do sit 17th in defensive rebounding which is better than where they rank in most other areas.
If they can keep Dallas off the glass and considering the lack of pace this game should be played with, the UNDER 227.5 (-105) is the best bet.
