Another day, another close out game in the NBA playoffs.
The Dallas Mavericks have a chance to put away the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 6 in Dallas – the second straight series where Dallas has had the potential to end things on its home floor despite not having a home-court advantage in the series.
Teams that win Game 5 in a 2-2 series go on to win the series more than 80 percent of the time, but the No. 1-seeded Thunder have defied expectations all season long.
I don’t love taking a side in this game, especially since Dallas has dropped multiple games as a home favorite this postseason, but there are two player props that are great bets for such an intense matchup.
