Oklahoma City at Dallas

With just 12 games remaining, the Oklahoma City Thunder are two games behind the San Antonio Spurs for the best overall record in the NBA. While this is a huge game for them, it is an even bigger game for Dallas who is tied with Phoenix for the #8 and final playoffs spot in the West. Dallas is a pair of tough overtime losses in their last six games away from bing 6-0 in the six games, and are playing well. One of the wins was a blowout at Oklahoma City by 23 points, and one would think that the Thunder, playing with revenge, would be in a good spot. However, they are actually in a 6-34 ATS situation that plays against them in their current revenge situation. The Mavs have also been the NBA's best team when coming off a loss where they are 35-11 ATS in their last 46. That becomes 24-3-2 ATS if they are a dog of any kind, or a favorite of less than -4.5. Take the points on Dallas.
