Get Dallas Mavericks vs Oklahoma City Thunder predictions, picks, and odds for Game 1 on 5-7, plus NBA Playoffs best bets and same-game parlay analysis.
Dereck Lively II has seen his role shift with Maxi Kleber now sidelined and his rebounding could be critical to Dallas' success in Game 1. We break down his impact in our Mavericks vs. Thunder picks below.
Game 1 player projections for Lively call for between 22 and 23 minutes of floor time in which he’s forecasted for a similar output as the first round, but with that defensive importance and the lack of depth at center, Lively could log between 25-30 minutes. As mentioned, Lively’s rebounding total for Game 1 sits at 6.5 O/U as of Tuesday morning and opened as low as 5.5 with the Over juiced to -135 at some sharper books earlier this week. Even after that adjustment, I’ll jump on the Over 6.5 with some spots dealing it as long as +110.Lively gets extra run, and the Mavs defensive strategy leaves him in prime rebound range, with my number closer to eight boards tonight.
