The Thunder will hope to continue a trend that’s seen them win 10 of their last 12 home games over the Mavericks when they host the team to open their first round playoff series. The SU wins haven’t converted to covering spreads, however, as the Mavs are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games in OKC.
- The Thunder are 6-0 SU in their last six games at home.
- The Thunder are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games against teams with winning records.
- The Mavericks are 1-5 SU in their last six games with two days off between games.
The Thunder swept the season series with Dallas, scoring an average of 112.5 points in the four games, and winning each game by an average of 9.5 points. It shouldn’t come as a shock to hear that three of the four games went OVER, while the teams have gone OVER in seven of their last nine games against each other. This game opened with a total of 208.5, which might be on the low end considering the average total in the four games between the teams this season was 215.5.
Both teams finished the regular season on a bit of an ATS roll, with OKC covering in four of their last five and the Mavs covering in five of their last seven. The Thunder opened as 12-point favorites and will likely close as a double-digit favorite — a spot they went 11-15 ATS in this season.
