The energy is remarkably high in Oklahoma City. The Thunder stayed perfect in the postseason with their 117-95 whipping of the Dallas Mavericks, and they’ve now won 10 straight games dating back to the regular season. However, oddsmakers are not too optimistic when it comes to Oklahoma, pricing them at +650 to win the title and +210 to win the Western Conference.
Shai-Gilgeous Alexander has been the fire for the team all season long, and he leads the way in scoring (27.6 PPG), assists (5.8 APG), and steals (1.4 SPG) throughout the postseason. Chet Holmgren has been excellent down low, contributing 16.0 per game while posting team high marks in both rebounding (8.4 RPG) and blocks (2.8 BPG).
Betting On The Dallas Mavericks
- 1XBet Spread: 0
- 1XBet Moneyline: 2.67
- 1XBet Over/Under: Under 218.5
The Dallas Maverick looked great in their first series against the Los Angeles Clippers, but they didn’t bring that energy for game one of their second-round match against Oklahoma City. The Mavericks lost in game one, failing to cover the spread as 3.5-point road underdog. The 212 shared points came in easily under a pregame total of 217.5 points.
Dallas stars Kyrie Irving (20 points) and Luka Doncic (19 points) were held to only 39 combined in the losing effort. If these two can’t keep the wheels turning, it is going to be a short stint in the second round for the Mavericks. Doncic has been delivering a monster postseason through the first seven matches. He leads in scoring (28.3 PPG), rebounding (8.4 RPG), and assists (9.4 APG). Irving adds 25.6 points per contest while registering a team-leading 1.9 steals per night.
