Tuesday NBA Free play. My selection is on Oklahoma City minus the points over Dallas at 9:30 pm et on Tuesday.

The Mavericks have traditionally been slow starters in playoff series' noting they've gone 14-19 ATS in their last 33 Game 1's including a 1-3 ATS mark over the last three seasons and an 0-1 ATS record this season. They've also just 47-54 ATS in their last 101 contests as an underdog including a 13-14 ATS mark this season. Meanwhile, the Thunder check in 37-22 ATS in their last 59 games as a home favorite including a 23-13 ATS record this season. Oklahoma City is also 31-23 ATS in its last 54 contests following three straight ATS victories, as is the case here, including a 9-7 ATS mark in that situation this season. The home team has gone 5-1 SU in the last six meetings in this series and it's worth noting that the SU winner has gone a perfect 19-0 ATS in the Mavs last 19 contests. I look for the Thunder to hold serve at home on Tuesday. Take Oklahoma City.
