Betting on the Oklahoma City Thunder
- Regular Season Record: 11-15
- DraftKings Spread: +8.5
- DraftKings Moneyline: +290
- DraftKings Over/Under: +228
The Oklahoma City Thunder have shown signs of wanting to improve their numbers in this 2022-23 NBA season, but the attempts have not been enough. It put together a three-game winning streak against the San Antonio Spurs, Minnesota Timberwolves and Atlanta Hawks, but fell to the Memphis Grizzlies in midweek 123-102.
They are one of the four teams with the most losses in the Western Conference and their poor results have them in last place in the Northwest Division. They need to react immediately or they could miss out on the playoffs. They will face this game with two consecutive losses, having lost 110-102 to Cleveland Cavaliers before arriving in Texas.
Betting on the Dallas Mavericks
- Regular Season Record: 13-13
- DraftKings Spread: -8
- DraftKings Moneyline: -350
- DraftKings Over/Under: 228
The Dallas Mavericks have faced a series of ups and downs during the nearly two months of the season we have seen, but have managed a balance to be able to be inside the top 10 of the Western Conference. A win in this match against one of their direct rivals could help them maintain their position in the standings.
They belong to the Southwest Division and currently have the second most wins, but for now far from the Pelicans and the Grizzlies who are the most dominant in that area. They lost to the Milwaukee Bucks 106-105, and still have to face the Chicago Bulls before they face Oklahoma.
JefeBet Prediction
The Thunder and Mavericks have already met twice this campaign and put on a great show on both occasions. In the first one, the victory went to the Dallas franchise by 98-96, and in the second one, after taking the game to overtime, the victory went to Oklahoma. It’s a great rematch, but the Texans come in as favorites to win here.
Prediction: Dallas Mavericks win by 5 points.
