OKC Thunder +6
Strong feeling that they use the positive vibes from closing out Game 7 at home and possibly steal one in Dallas tonight. The Thunder absolutely need to steal one of the first two in Dallas. Their best shot naturally comes when the Mavs are just coming off 9 days of rest and might have some rest. Jason Kidd realistically can't cover Russell Westbrook, but as we saw against the Grizzlies, is Westbrook being able to get where he wants offensively good or bad? The Perkins/Chandler, Nowitzki/Ibaka, Marion/Durant matchups should be essentially a wash. If Dallas' bench decides to go nuts like they did against the Lakers, the series will be over in 5 games. Either way, I like Westbrook to figure out what he needs to do, and I like Durant to make the jump in his career and begin his legacy.
Prediction: Thunder 106 Mavericks 103
Risk: 2.2 to win 2
