The Oklahoma City Thunder are averaging 100.8 points on 41.7 percent shooting and allowing 107.7 points on 44.5 percent shooting. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 22.5 points and 4.8 rebounds, while Luguentz Dort is averaging 16.6 points and 4 rebounds.

The Dallas Mavericks are averaging 105.3 points on 45.1 percent shooting and allowing 103.4 points on 45.5 percent shooting. Luka Doncic is averaging 24.7 points and 8.8 assists, while Kristaps Porzingis is averaging 20.6 points and 8 rebounds.

The Thunder are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 road games and 25-10-1 ATS in their last 36 games overall. The Mavericks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The over is 4-1 in Thunder last 5 overall. The under is 19-7 in Mavericks last 26 overall. The Thunder are 0-7 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Dallas and 4-10 ATS in the last 14 meetings.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have been great at covering numbers on the road and overall dating back to last season, but they also have thrown in some stinkers here and there. The Dallas Mavericks have been a different team since the return of Doncic, and they're winning their last five games by an average of 11.6 points while shooting 48 percent from the field. Thick number, but the Mavs are downright rolling right now. It's the Mavericks or pass for me.
