OKC Thunder vs Dallas Mavericks Top 10 player props markets available for 2024 NBA Playoffs Game 6 (May 18)

The OKC Thunder visit the Dallas Mavericks for a Game 6 showdown of the Western Conference semifinals on Saturday. In the first round of the NBA Playoffs, home teams went 28-15. In the second round, the record is 12-10, much closer to .500.

In the New York-Indiana series, the home team has emerged victorious in every game, contrasting with the trend in the other three second-round series where the road team has been more successful.

This likely indicates that the teams are evenly matched in this round. The Dallas-Oklahoma City series has featured several close games and a back-and-forth dynamic where no team holds onto momentum for long.

Dallas has the advantage heading into Game 6, leading the series 3-2 after winning in Oklahoma City on Wednesday. It seemed the Mavericks might have squandered their advantage by losing Game 4 at home. However, Dallas did not give Oklahoma City another chance in Game 5 and is now on the verge of advancing.

With their current momentum, Dallas appears poised to secure victory in four consecutive games and is well-positioned to advance to the conference finals for the second time in three years.

Meanwhile, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is looking for more support from his teammates. His lowest point total in this series is 29 points. Shooting nearly 50.0% from the field and 46.7% from 3-point range, Gilgeous-Alexander has been stellar, yet OKC is on the brink of elimination.

Top 10 player props for OKC Thunder vs Dallas Mavericks, Game 6

#10. Josh Giddey to go Over 6.5 points (+110)

The OKC Thunder have versatile players, notably Josh Giddey, who comes off the bench and has averaged 7.0 ppg in the series. He scored 11 points in Game 5 and is anticipated to be aggressive coming off the bench, with the team facing elimination.

#9. Chet Holmgren to go Over 1.5 3-pointers (+136)

Holmgren will be key for the Thunder to win, as the versatile big man is capable of making shots from the distance and forcing Dallas' defense to stretch as he has averaged a 3-pointer per game this series.

#8. Chet Holmgren to go Under 8.5 rebounds (-120)

The Thunder, and notably Chet Holmgren, have lost the rebounding battle to Dallas, as he has averaged 6.8 rpg this series. P.J. Washington, Gafford and Luka Doncic's size have stifled the rookie in the rebounding department.

#7. P.J. Washington to go Under 15.5 points (-125)

The Mavericks have received stellar play from Washington in three of the five contests this series; however, the Thunder did well to contain him in Game 5 with 10 points and are anticipated to hold him to similar numbers in Game 6.

#6. Luka Doncic to go Under 2.5 3-pointers (+142)

Luka Doncic had his best game of the series in Game 5, bouncing back after a sluggish Game 5 effort. His knee has clearly bothered him in his ability to make his signature step-back 3s. Expect his trend to continue, struggling from beyond the arc as Lu Dort plays stellar defense on Doncic as he averaged 2.8 3s per game.

#5. Daniel Gafford to go Over 7.5 rebounds (+100)

Daniel Gafford's size has been key for the Mavericks in their frontcourt. His ability to crash and secure defensive possessions has limited OKC to fewer shot attempts, and he has averaged 7.6 rpg this series.

#4. Derrick Jones to go Over 9.5 points + 0.5 blocks (+175)

Derrick Jones Jr. has been a significant part of the Mavericks' playoff run, earning the full trust of Jason Kidd, Doncic and Kyrie Irving. His athleticism has proven invaluable.

This increased trust has naturally led to increased usage. Jones has taken 21 shots over the past two games, scoring 17 or more points in both, which Dallas won. Additionally, he has recorded five blocks in this two-game stretch. Betting on Jones to reach double-digit points and one rejection at +175 seems like a tremendous value.

#3. Kyrie Irving to go Over 5.5 assists (-124)

Kyrie Irving has played more of a facilitator role than a scorer in this series, averaging 6.8 apg. His ability to share the ball and create chances for his teammates will always be there as OKC will opt to double him whenever they can.

#2. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to go Over 6.5 assists (+105)

As the primary scorer for OKC, "SGA" is bound to get double-teamed, allowing him to find his teammates for open looks. He has averaged 7.2 apg this series.

#1. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to go Over 1.5 3-pointers (+160)

He predominately operates from the mid-range; however he is well capable of making 3-pointers and has averaged 1.4 3s per game. "SGA" is anticipated to take more 3s as Dallas would look to be cautious of his mid-range game.
