The OKC have a great defense and a power house on offense and depth in their bench. They did not have a good shooting game and they should bounce back in this spot. Dallas and Doncic are pushing the pace with his injured knee, and that may spell trouble in this series for them, even though they won the game, Doncic barely got to 30 points. Look for some shooting regression from players like Washington who had 29 points, well over his season average and Doncic who is not healthy. OKC will make sure they don’t give Dallas second chance looks and win the battle on the glass. Look for Shai to step up and have a better shooting game as well. The team in general did not shoot enough threes so they should have more in this game. OKC is the more complete healthy team in this game and should bounce back in this road spot. OKC is 5-2 against the spread off of a home loss this season. Dallas is 3-9 against the spread this season off an upset win as an underdog. OKC has also won and covered 7 of the last 10 games against the Mavericks. Oklahoma City are 5-2 straight up in their last 7 games against Dallas. This will be a close fought game and it will probably come down to a possession so there is value for bettors in taking the points.

Best bet: take the points with Oklahoma City.
