Mavericks vs Thunder Picks & Prediction

This almost feels like a case of "if ain't broke, don't fix it" with the Thunder.

Oklahoma City is 5-0 in the postseason and covered the spread in four straight games, while winning nine consecutive games since mid-April.

The Thunder pulled away from the Mavericks in Game 1 by a convincing 117-95 final as OKC outscored Dallas by 12 points in the fourth quarter.

The Mavs received a total of 39 points from Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, which isn't going to cut it against anybody, much less the top seed in the Western Conference.

The Thunder shot 16-of-35 from three-point range in Game 1, while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way with 29 points.

This line has moved slightly up to five from the 4.5 closing number in Game 1 and the Thunder just keep rolling so there is no need to go against it until Doncic and Irving can bust out to get Dallas back in the series.

Pick: Thunder -5 (-110)
