Thunder at Mavericks
Pick: Over 198

The Maverick’s will come out with guns blazing and look to close out this series and get a few extra days rest before the Final’s. The Thunder is facing elimination. After giving up a 15 point lead with 4 plus minutes left in game 4, Kevin Durant and company have no choice but to do everything they can to stay alive.
