2011 NBA Playoff Free Picks
(The Spread) – The Thunder will look to even things up in the Western Conference Finals when they host the Mavericks at 9:00PM ET tonight.
Oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com have made the Thunder 4-point favorites over the Mavericks for tonight’s Game 4 matchup. The over/under total for this game is currently sitting at 195.5 points.
The Mavericks are now within two wins of clinching the Western Conference Finals and heading to the 2011 NBA championship after they beat the Thunder 93-87 on Saturday night. Dirk Nowitzki and Shawn Marion paced the Mavericks with 18 points apiece, while Jason Kidd added 13 points and a team-high eight assists. Tyson Chandler pulled down a team-high 15 rebounds.
For the Thunder, Russell Westbrook scored 30 points and added four assists, while Kevin Durant finished with 24 points, 12 boards and a team-high five assists. None of the other Oklahoma City players reached double-digits, as Serge Ibaka finished with nine points on 4-of-11 shooting.
NBA Playoffs Free Pick: Take the Mavericks. According to latest NBA trends, the Mavs are 4-1 against the spread in their last five trips to Oklahoma City, while the road team is 19-7-2 ATS in the last 28 meetings between these two teams. The underdog is also 11-4-1 against the number in the last 16 games between these two clubs, while the Thunder are just 0-4 against the spread in their last four home games versus a team with a winning road record. The Thunder appear to be either overmatched, tired or are allowing the pressure to get to them. I like Dallas to win straight up tonight.
