Despite a run of three straight setbacks to Dallas, OKC is a 4.5-point favorite in Tuesday’s NBA odds.

Not only have the Mavericks been hot against OKC, they’re also the hottest team in the NBA overall entering play on Tuesday. Dallas has won seven straight games, three without Luka Doncic (28.7 PPG, 8.3 RPG, 8.1 APG), including a trio of wins over teams that are currently above .500 (Atlanta, Memphis, New York). Since Luka returned from a wrist injury on Dec. 1, he’s averaged 31.0 PPG, 10.0 RPG, and 9.5 APG in four straight wins.
In other words, the preseason favorite in the NBA MVP odds has picked up where he left off.
Fading the Thunder has been a dangerous proposition this season. Not only are they the top seed in the West right now, two games clear of Memphis, they also have the seventh-best ATS record in the Association at 14-9. Yet this Dallas team just seem to have OKC’s number. They went 2-1 straight-up in Oklahoma City during last year’s playoffs (winning the best-of-seven four games to two) and already beat the Thunder 121-119 in OKC this season without Luka.
The spread of 4.5 points is not insignificant. Dallas has a great chance to win this one straight-up, and I love them getting a handful of points.
