Mavericks at Thunder and predictions

Forecast

Thunder 110, Mavericks 100

Moneyline

PASS.

Both teams are on a back-to-back and Dallas won the last head-to-head meeting. However, don’t fall for the +550 trap with Mavericks. During Wednesday’s broadcast, the announcers said Mavs coach Jason Kidd would not play Irving Heavy minutes because he played 40 minutes at Charlotte on Monday. He wound up playing 38 on Wednesday.

I’m also looking for a slight regression from Gilgeous-Alexander, but I’m on board with that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander over 11.5 assists + rebounds (-115). He has gone 13, 13, 11, 12, 11 in the last 5 games.

Against the spread

I’m a little hesitant because of the aforementioned Irving note. If he plays reduced minutes Thursday, I don’t fully trust his supporting cast to keep the Mavs in it. But I also see SGA taking a step back and easing up more.

Take Mavericks +12.5 (-105).

Above/below

I like Below 221.5 (-105) mostly here. The last 2 head-to-head meetings resulted in odd ones with the most recent going under 220 as Dallas cruised to a 106-98 home win last Friday. Now both teams play without rest.
