Washington with next double-double?

The duel between the Dallas Mavericks and Oklahoma City Thunder will be exciting! What are the predictions for Game 6 this weekend? The hosts won the last duel away from home and now have a match point

With another win, the final in the Western Conference would be booked! However, the Texans can only rely on home advantage to a limited extent in this endeavor. The Mavs only won one of the two home games in the series against OKC and already lost one of three home games against Los Angeles in the previous round against the Clippers

Dallas Mavericks – statistics & current form

Luka Doncic took on the role of Dallas’ leader in the last game and carried his team to success at the Paycom Center with a triple-double. For the Slovenian, his performance was also very important from a personal perspective.

In the previous four games of the series, Doncic had not yet reached his peak performance and only scored 22 points per game, for example. This was certainly also due to the fact that he wasn’t fully fit and was struggling with knee problems, among other things

Is Doncic making progress again?

Now, however, he seems to be back to 100 percent physical fitness and his recent strong performance should have boosted his confidence. In view of this, betting tips and odds on him scoring more than 27.5 points in Game 6 between the Dallas Mavericks and Oklahoma City Thunder are also worth considering

Oklahoma City Thunder – Statistics & current form

OKC must first play an elimination game in the 2024 NBA Playoffs. This is of course a real litmus test for the youngest team in the current postseason. After the visitors easily booked their place in the semi-finals of the Western Conference with a sweep against the New Orleans Pelicans in the first round of the playoffs, they have fallen off the pace in the current series.

This mainly affects OKC’s offense. Although Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to score reliably, his teammates have plenty of room for improvement in this context. One example was the most recent game, in which SGA scored 30 points and had the second-best record after Doncic on the other side, but no other Oklahoma player scored more than 13 points.

No more than 104 points by City Thunder again?

In view of the visitors’ offensive difficulties, the prediction of a maximum of 104 points by coach Mark Daigneault’s squad in the Mavericks’ clash with OKC also appears to be a good one. A mark that the visitors have now not topped in three duels against the Mavs!
