1.87Tip and bets
Dallas more or less lived up to fans' expectations at the start of the current championship. But after Doncic injury, the Mavericks' play has completely fallen apart. Oklahoma City is showing excellent basketball and is confidently moving towards winning the conference for the second season in a row. Daignault men, riding high after a spectacular victory over Cleveland, will have to succeed against an opponent weakened by injuries.
Our prediction is Oklahoma victory with a handicap of (-5.5) points, taking into account overtime at 1.75
Bet on individual total
Oklahoma will put an almost optimal lineup on the court. With all the leaders on the court, the team from Oklahoma City shows decent efficiency this season. The average score is 116.6. And in away games it is almost the same - 116.2. And this time the Thunder will be able to load the opponent basket decently.
Our prediction is Oklahoma individual total is over 116.5 points including overtime at 2.03
Bet on the first half
The Thunder basketball players will start the game with Dallas in a good mood after the victory over the Cavaliers. There is no doubt that they will try to achieve victory in order to develop success in front of their fans. The players of Daignault team will show who is the main one on the court from the first minutes of the match and will seize the initiative.
Our prediction is Oklahoma to win the first half of the game at 1.44
