Thunder are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest.

Mavericks are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 playoff games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5.

Mavericks are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 playoff games as a favorite.

Under is 6-2 in Thunder last 8 games as an underdog of 5.0-10.5.

Under is 6-2-1 in Thunder last 9 games as an underdog.

Over is 4-1 in Mavericks last 5 vs. Western Conference.

Over is 4-1 in Mavericks last 5 games following a ATS win.

Thunder are 6-0-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Dallas.

Thunder are 9-3-1 ATS in the last 13 meetings.

My Prediction: It will have been 9 days since the Mavericks swept the Lakers 4-0 in the Western Conference Semifinals while the Thunder played a hard-fought 7-game series with the Grizzlies. The Mavs are 5-2 ATS with 3 or more days rest this year. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook have been brilliant in carrying the Thunder this far. Based on how the road team has fared in this series over the past few years I think the Thunder’s momentum carries them to an upset win in Game 1 tonight, so take the 6 points as a gift.

Thunder +6
