Oklahoma City Thunder at Dallas Mavericks Preview & Picks

Oklahoma City are tipped to cover the spread as they improve to 4-0.

The Thunder produced their best defensive showing so far on Saturday night, and they can slow down a Dallas group that had to rely solely on offense to get their first win last night.

  • Oklahoma City Thunder are 3-0 this season
  • Dallas Mavericks are 1-2 in their first 3 home games
  • The Under has cashed in 3 of the last 4 meetings in Dallas
  • The Under has hit in 2 of Dallas’ first 3 home games

Head To Head

  • Oklahoma City Thunder lead the all-time series 107-100
  • Dallas Mavericks won 121-115 when the two teams last met on January 23

Oklahoma City Thunder Form

Oklahoma City head to Dallas having opening their defence of the NBA title with three consecutive wins.

The Thunder kicked off the season at home and were made to work overtime for a season-opening 125-124 victory over Houston.

They needed additional time to win their second game of the season too, as they went out on the road for a rematch of last season’s NBA Finals.

Oklahoma City were able to get the job done though, as they won a thrilling shootout with Indiana, 141-135.

The Thunder then made it three-in-a-row on Saturday, as they moved on to Atlanta to take down the Hawks, 117-100.

Dallas Mavericks Form

Dallas go into this meeting with the defending champions looking to build on their first win of the season.

The Mavericks have been given five straight home games to start the season, but they have failed to take full advantage through three games.

They opened the season with an all-Texas showdown with San Antonio, and they were blown out by the Spurs in a 125-92 defeat.

Dallas broke the 100-point barrier in their second outing, but that was not enough to prevent them from losing 117-110 to Washington.

The Mavericks did finally get off the mark on Sunday night though, as they downed Toronto in a shootout at home, 139-129.

Verdict

Dallas leaned to tally on offense to get the job done on Sunday, but that is not likely to work here.

Oklahoma City’s defense is considerably better than Toronto’s, so we expect the Thunder to make plenty of stops as they slow down the Mavericks and take this.
