dallas at okc
renewal of defensive efforts is underway by both teams, we can expect fg % return to 43% or less, whilst westbrook benched in game 2 could lead to a disruptive issue for okc, but return home with a level 1-1 still make them in driver's seat in this series. They are physical and deep enough interior to hold out the mavs at home in game 3.

Kd will step up and maintain the lead in scoring department, he had shown he can deliver a knock out in critical moment despite difficult look at the basket from outside or high screen. Harden is questionable with head injuries, but they will reach deep to another bench player to step up if needed.

take okc -1.5 at the half
take okc -2.5
total under 201.5

Attachment 28091

Ref's profile is a slight lean toward over, but average total range ~197<200.5. So this could be in for another one of them sharp line right here.

verdict: under 200.5 is still good. Thunderbird are go.
