Oklahoma City head coach Mark Daigneault is a shoo-in for NBA Coach of the Year, and that’s been led by MVP candidate. With SGA expected to play, he can push a Dallas defense that gives up the 11th most points per game in the NBA. That disruption should hurt a Dallas team that will be without its two primary ball handlers and already ranks in the back half of the NBA in steals allowed per game . Beyond SGA, Holmgren, and Williams, Josh Giddey and Lu Dort will also create issues for the Mavericks' backups.
Hardaway Jr. is averaging 14.6 points and 2.7 threes per game, while Washington is a solid inside presence with 11.7 points and 55.6% shooting from 2-point range. Those two should be able to add enough on top of what the Thunder stars produce offensively. The Thunder opened at -16.5 and are now listed at either -17.5 or -18.5, depending on the book.
