Oklahoma City Thunder vs Dallas Mavericks prediction

This line is strange to me, as the Dallas Mavericks as home underdogs with Kyrie and Luka probable has great value in my eyes. Yes, the Oklahoma City Thunder have been covering machines all season long, and they’ve won 4 of the last 5 meetings against the Mavs. I get it. However, the Mavs are at home and have their two best players active, which makes them dangerous regardless of opponent. I’m just going to take the Mavericks in the underdog role more times than not, with Luka and Kyrie sharing the floor. So unless the status changes, give me the Mavericks and the free bucket.
