Why the Thunder Will Cover (-3.5)
The Wizards were without Bradley Beal on Friday, and the Thunder absolutely dominated. Now, the Mavericks are without Luka Doncic. OKC has been very up and down lately, but playing in front of a home crowd should help maintain a consistent level of energy. The Thunder has a better backcourt by far considering the absence of Doncic, so OKC could win this one by a large margin, if everything goes as planned.
Staff Picks
Why the Game Will Hit the Over (226)
The two meetings so far this season between OKC and Dallas were both high-scoring affairs, totaling 238 and 235 points. Luka Doncic sitting out will definitely impact the way Dallas scores, but I think this game will go one of two ways: the Mavs figure out a way to score more effectively as a team —OR— the Thunder blows the Mavs out entirely. Either way, I see this one hitting the over on the point total.
