THUNDER: With the youth and inexperience of Oklahoma City, it seems like the Western Conference Finals is all but over. The Thunder were in command of Game 4 for the first 43 minutes before ultimately crumbling and losing in overtime. Oklahoma City now must win 3 straight games, 2 of which will be played in Dallas to make the NBA Finals. The Thunder can take solace in the fact they won Game 2 in Dallas. Oklahoma City is 28-20 SU and 26-21 ATS in road games this season. The Thunder are 3-2 ATS as a road underdog between 6.5 and 9 points this year. F Kevin Durant had a team high 29 points and 15 rebounds in the Game 4 loss. However, Durant needs to be more efficient in the closing minutes of the 4th quarter. PG Russell Westbrook quite simply needs to do a better job of leading his team and executing the offense for the Thunder. Westbrook did have 19 points, 8 assists, and 8 rebounds in the Game 4 loss. F Nick Collison has been a revelation for Oklahoma City, as he's contributed solid offense while playing outstanding defense on Dirk Nowitzki. Collison played 31 minutes in Game 4 and had 12 points and 7 rebounds. The Thunder are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss. Oklahoma City is 20-7 ATS in their last 27 games as a road underdog between 5 and 10.5 points. The Thunder are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 Wednesday games. Oklahoma City is 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. The Thunder are 11-5-1 ATS in their last 17 road games.

Projected Score: 98 (SIDE of the Day)
