Thunder vs. Mavericks Game Total

We are backing the Over as the Thunder (46-15) regain Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who returned from injury on Friday to drop 36 points and lead their 4th-ranked offense (119.5 PPG) to a 127-point performance. The Mavericks (21-38) are in a defensive collapse, surrendering 118.0 PPG while missing foundational defenders Dereck Lively II and Marvin Bagley III, as well as rookie star Cooper Flagg. Our analysis expects OKC's elite efficiency to exploit a depleted Dallas rotation that has lost 12 of its last 14 games and currently lacks the interior presence to curb high-possession scoring.
