NBA OFFICIAL PLAY

ATS - THUNDER +6 (x1)

Dallas giving up to many points in this one for my liking. This price has been inflated IMO by the way the Mavs handed or dismantled the Lakers in 4! they have had 9 days off! that's an eternity in NBA terms, will this help or hinder? I believe it will help the older players likes of J.Kidd but hinder the momentum and may come out a little rusty tonight. They are up against a young team with two out and out stars of the game in Durant and Westbrook. They are coming off a tough 7 game series against Memphis. I actually feel this will do this young group wonders! Westbrook may not have his way against Kidd so he must distribute! Just as he did in game 7, this is the key, getting Durant more of the ball. Also Perkins and Ibaka must be aggressive and put pressure on Dirk. I don't think they can stop Dirk but they have plenty of players to rotate on to him at any point of the game with Perkins, Ibaka & Collison.

Thunder for me to keep this one close.
