Dallas Mavericks @ Oklahoma City Thunder 9:30pm EST

Over 218.5 -110 (1u)


It almost feels like it has been weeks since both these teams last played, particularly the Thunder, but that’s what happens when you are the only team to sweep your opponent in the first round. Tonight, we get Game 1 of a matchup featuring 2 of the biggest young stars in the NBA in Luka Doncic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. 


At 218.5, this total is a little higher than normal, especially with this being a second round playoff game. However, when looking deeper at the statistics, it makes sense. The Thunder had the third highest PPG in the NBA during the regular season, while the Mavericks had the 7th. The Thunder had the 3rd best overall shooting percentage, while the Mavericks had the 10th, and the Mavericks were 3rd overall in 3 Pointers Made, while the Thunder were 8th.  


In 4 regular season matchups, 218.5 was exceeded every single game, with the average game total being 242.5. Both teams rank inside the top 8 in pace, which suggests quick possessions and more scoring. On the defensive side, both teams rank in the bottom third in terms of opponent threes made. Neither team will hesitate to shoot a three if they get a look. With offensive firepower on the court tonight, paired with fresh legs and two teams that love to play fast and shoot, we like the over tonight in Game 1 of this series.
