Thunder vs. Mavericks Prediction and Odds: Sell High on Mavericks as Major Favorites
By Peter Dewey
The Dallas Mavericks have been hot as of late, winning eight of their last 10 games heading into tonight’s matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Mavericks have posted the best defensive rating in the NBA over their last 11 games, and they’re going to have a chance to shut down the Thunder, who rank 29th in the NBA in offensive rating this season.
Here are the latest odds for this game via WynnBET:

Thunder vs. Mavericks Prediction and Pick
The Mavericks have been great recently, but they are facing the team that is No. 2 in the NBA against the spread this season.
OKC is 27-14-1 against the spread in the 2021-22 season and an impressive 8-4 against the spread as a double-digit underdog this season.
The Thunder have kept their last three losses all within five points, and they even upset the Brooklyn Nets (without Kevin Durant) last week.
As good as Dallas has been defensively, I think this is a spot to sell high rather than laying the points with Luka Doncic and company.
Lean: Thunder +11.5 (-110)
