Oklahoma City Thunder

After an away loss to Dallas, Oklahoma managed to play two matches on home court. Both times the team won, first coping with Brooklyn (127:101), and then outplaying Utah (123:114).

In total, the Thunder have only seven losses since the start of the season, and 36 wins already. Okla as confidently as possible passed the first half of the regular season and almost from the very start of the championship leading in the Western Conference.

We should separately note the defensive rating of Oklahoma. To date, they are the best in the league - 103.6 points allowed per game on average. In the last championship the Thunder‘ missed 112.1 points per game, that is the progress of the team in this regard is huge.

Dallas Mavericks

The Mavericks after the unexpected victory over Oklahoma also had two meetings. Both times Jason Kidd's team lost. First, Dallas on the road failed to cope with Charlotte (105:110), and as recently as yesterday in a tough struggle lost at home to Minnesota (114:115).

Recall that since the end of December, Dallas has been playing without Luka Doncic, and the absence of the leader has a drastic negative impact on the Mavs. The Texans lost 10 of their last 13 games and fell out of the playoff zone. Now Dallas with a balance of 23-21 sits on the eighth line in the Western Conference.

Expert Betting Tips

In the recent face-to-face meeting of rivals in Dallas, the Thunder could not count on their leader Shay Gilgeous-Alexander. Now with the Canadian in the lineup, Oklahoma will surely win. Shay scores about 30 points per game on average, which Mark Dayno's team lacked in Texas. In addition, we'll bet on a TU of the points scored here. Oklahoma, let's repeat, leads the defensive rating of the season, and Dallas has problems on offense in the absence of Luka Doncic.
