1.5 units on Oklahoma City -210 (moneyline) (risk 1.5 to return 2.21)
Result:
WIN

The Oklahoma City Thunder have a lot of ground to make up, and if the playoffs started today they would not be part of it. That is because they have seen their two superstar players both miss significant time this season, but like last year, they are much better with them. This is a team that should play every game from this point out with tremendous focus because they know the work required to get back to the playoffs. Dallas was playing well under the line at 6-11-2 ATS in their last 19 prior to the All-Star break, and keep changing their roster, adding Rondo and now Stoudemire, and chemistry issues seem to be evolving as oddsmakers pin them as being stronger. The Thunder are whole again and always show up for the big game at home where they are 23-5-1 ATS in their last 29, most as a favorite. Dallas may hang around but with Westbrook, Durant, and the home floor and focus, Oklahoma City should come up aces. Play Oklahoma City on the moneyline.
