The Mavericks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Thunder are 27-7 ATS in their last 34 Sunday games and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 home games. The over is 9-2 in Mavericks last 11 games playing on 0 days rest. The over is 5-2 in Thunder last 7 overall. The Mavericks are 0-5 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

This line has completely flipped because the Dallas Mavericks are on the end of a back to back and there's reports Luka likely sits out due to a sore ankle. I have to lay the bucket with the scrappy Oklahoma City Thunder if that's the case. OKC not has the rest edge, but it's good at home, where it wins by an average of 3.4 points. No Luka, give me the Thunder and the small chalk.
