Preview of Thunder vs Mavericks Prediction

The Thunder won their last meeting against the Mavericks on December 10, 2024, with a commanding 118-104 victory. Earlier in the season, Dallas edged out a narrow 121-119 win on November 17, 2024. Both teams come into this game looking to gain the upper hand in their season series.

Thunder Preview

The Thunder are currently on a roll, winning four of their last five games. Their recent win against the Cleveland Cavaliers, 134-114, showcased their offensive firepower. Oklahoma City's ATS (Against the Spread) record in their last five games is impressive at 3-1-1, especially as favorites.

Key players like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey have been instrumental in the Thunder's success, consistently putting up big numbers and dictating the pace of games.

Mavericks Preview

The Mavericks, on the other hand, are struggling, losing four of their last five games. Their most recent outing was a 116-119 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. Dallas's ATS record sits at 1-4-0 in their last five, reflecting their struggles to meet expectations.

Dallas's offense has been inconsistent, and their defense continues to be a liability. Luka Dončić remains their cornerstone, but without strong support from his teammates, the Mavericks have been unable to close out games.

My Pick for Thunder vs Mavericks

Based on the Rithmm model and recent trends:

• Pick: Mavericks +8.0 ATS

While the Thunder are the stronger team on paper, the Mavericks' desperation and home-court advantage give them a reasonable chance to cover the spread.
