Bookmakers experts consider Oklahoma to be the clear favorite of the upcoming match. In their opinion, Dallas will not have many chances of success. Thunder beat Mavericks in their last two matches on their home court. The team from Texas has not been particularly impressive in away games this season. Daignault team will have to achieve a convincing victory this time too.
Our prediction is Oklahoma City to win with a handicap of (-6.5) points including overtime at 1.98
Bet on individual total
Oklahoma has shown acceptable performance this season. The average is 115.1 points per game. And in home games it is a little lower - 114.9. And this time everything is going to the fact that the Thunder will be able to improve their statistics.
Our prediction is Oklahoma individual total is over 119.5 points including overtime at 2.08
Bet on the player
Gilgeous-Alexander played 75 games in the regular season and averaged 30.1 points per game. This season, his rate is slightly lower — 27.9. The 26-year-old guard has definitely not lost his basic skills. The Canadian basketball player will be able to cause a lot of trouble for the opponent defense.
Our prediction is Gilgeous-Alexander total points over 29.5 including overtime at 1.87
