Premium Pick

Dallas hasn't been clicking with newcomer Rajon Rondo on board, which is to be expected. This is also not an elite defensive team, even with Rondo. The Mavericks are 0-5 ATS in their last five home games. Oklahoma City, though, is an elite defensive team, tops in the NBA in points allowed and second in field goal shooting defense. Kevin Durant has been out, but Russell Westbrook has averaged 32.6 points during a 3-2 stretch after netting 29 in three quarters of Friday's 98-75 home win over Charlotte. Serge Ibaka added 13 points, 14 rebounds, and four blocks for his first double-double in 11 games. OKC is on a 28-12 run UNDER the total, and the UNDER is 19-7 in the Thunder's last 26 games playing on one days rest. Play Oklahoma City on the moneyline and play Oklahoma City/Dallas UNDER the total.
