Oklahoma City Thunder vs Dallas Mavericks: Current situation
This Thunder team has been battle tested quite a few times already this season and they have a 18-5 record to show for it. Against opponents from the same conference they are 14-5 which is particularly impressive since they are in the stronger Western Conference. Despite the success, we won’t know the true strength of this team until Chet Holmgren returns from injury, he is rehabbing a hip injury which will keep him out for another month or so at least. Isaiah Hartenstein has done a solid job on the boards in his absence, averaging 12.8 per game.
Despite having Maxi Kleber, Jaden Hardy, Naji Marshall and Dante Exum all on the injury report the Dallas Mavericks have risen over the past several weeks and find themselves currently on a 7-game win streak. At 16-8 they are in a two-way tie with the Rockets for 3rd place in the Western Conference, the Thunder who are in first are just 2.5 games ahead of them. Right now the Mavericks are on the longest win streak in the entire NBA.
Oklahoma City Thunder Stats & Form
OKC had a relatively easy task in their last game as they took down the struggling New Orleans Pelicans 119-109 on the road. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander came out hot with 16 points in the first quarter to set the tone, the game was pretty much in the books by half-time so some of the starters could rest the rest of the way. OKC has made bettors a lot of money lately by covering the spread 4 times in 5 games, they are also 7-1 SU in their last 8 overall.
Dallas Mavericks Stats & Form
The current 7-game win streak that the Mavs are on is their longest of the season and this team is finally looking what everyone envisioned they’d look like after they acquired Klay Thompson in the offseason. They’ll be encouraged here with their run of 5 straight road wins, they’re also a very good 4-2 ATS in their last 6 visits to OKC. A total of 7 players scored in double figures for the Mavs in the first meeting of the season vs Oklahoma City, if they can pull off something similar here they will be in really good shape.
Oklahoma City Thunder vs Dallas Mavericks: Head-to-Head
We saw 240 points scored and a Dallas 2-point victory in the first meeting this regular season back in mid-November. OKC had the upper hand last season winning 3 of 4 regular season meetings, however it was Dallas that advanced in the playoffs with a 4-2 win against the Thunder in the West semis. The two teams are also neck and neck in the all-time regular season win total with the Thunder holding a slim lead 90 to 85 in wins.

Betting tip and prediction: Oklahoma City Thunder vs Dallas Mavericks (10.12.2024)
Both the Thunder and Mavericks are flying high with 3 and 7 game win streaks to show for. This promises to be a highly competitive game, just like their first meeting of the season was when the Mavericks squeezed out a 121-119 win at Paycom Center. Luka Doncic did not play in that game due to an injury, but since coming back he has averaged 31 points on over 50% shooting from the field, while also delivering 10.5 rebounds and 9.5 assists. Right now he is on a streak of 3 straight triple-doubles in head-to-head meetings, it’s pretty obvious that the Thunder don’t have a solution for him. OKC will be highly motivated to get revenge against the Mavericks who eliminated them from the postseason last year, they are one of the formidable teams at home this season with a 9-2 record. Their three-point defense has been particularly impressive with opponents making just 33.3% of their attempts against them, over the last 3 games that number is below 30%. Stakes are high for this game with a place in the final of the Western Conference part of the Emirates NBA Cup on the line, expect a close game. If that’s the case, then the smarter bet is definitely Dallas here. The Mavs are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games and have beaten the Thunder in 5 of the last 6 meetings while also covering the spread 4 times. Back Dallas to cover.
