Dallas Mavericks

Before the fifth game, which took place in Oklahoma City, the Mavericks were not favourites. They were clearly not favourites - Dallas were given a handicap (+5.5). However, the team didn't just disprove their underdog status, they won very convincingly - 104:92. The Texans held a double-digit lead from the middle of the second quarter. Luka Doncic finished the game with a triple-double - 31 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists. P.J. Washington (10 points, 10 rebounds) and Derek Lively (11 points, 10 rebounds) each had a double-double.

Oklahoma City Thunder

It's obviously too early for the Thunder to get to as late a stage as the conference finals. In fact, the series with Dallas confirms it. Oklahoma had chances to take the lead, including a key fifth game at home, but due to inexperience they couldn't take advantage of them, and they didn't even give Dallas a good fight. Now Oklahoma's departure looks like a done deal.

Expert Betting Tips

Oklahoma may be the best team in the Western Conference in terms of potential, but its leaders still have some work to do. Reaching the Western Conference semifinals this season is invaluable experience that will help the Thunder in the future. Right now, it's the much more experienced Dallas that's going to go further. Luka Doncic seems to be reaching the very late stages of the playoffs now.
