This is a 10* TOTAL BLOCKBUSTER on the OVER between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Dallas Mavericks.

We played the OVER in both Games 1 and 2 and each time a sluggish first quarter would doom our pick, both contests falling just below the posted number. This is a great situational play, the Thunder will be out to atone for their lacklustre 85-84 setback in Game 2. The Mavs though of course will be looking to prove that the win was no fluke and will also be putting an added emphasis on getting out to a better start, after back-to-back poor efforts in the first quarter in Games 1 and 2. As primarily a situationally based handicapping service, they simply don't get much better than this. And note that OKC has seen the total go OVER the number in 8 of 12 this year in trying to revenge a home loss vs. an opponent, while Dallas has seen the total sail above the posted number in eight of 14 this season when playing with two days rest. Expect consistent production in each quarter and for this total to go OVER the number as it comes down the stretch.
