Mavericks-Thunder Game 2 Prop Odds

Luka Doncic Over 10.5 Assists (+124)

Over 218.5 Points (-110)

Jalen Williams Over 20.5 Points (-115)

Why Doncic Will Record Over 10.5 Assists 

Yes, I know this number is very high on paper, but this is Luka Doncic we are talking about. He is the entire Mavericks team for better or worse, and it is mostly better. He does everything for the Mavericks in both the regular season and the postseason. He leads the way in scoring at 28.3 points per game, in rebounding at 8.4 per game, and in assists at 9.4 per game. In the postseason, he is tied for the team lead in assists at 9.4 and then was second in the regular season at 9.8 per game behind only Tyrese Haliburton. Doncic has only hit over this number in assists once this postseason, but he also hit right at 10 assists in two other games.

Doncic is the biggest key for the Mavericks obviously, but the other reason to like this bet is because the Mavericks need to get other players involved, and with Doncic running the offense as much as he does they need to spread the wealth, and that will only be done through Doncic sharing the ball. Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving can not do everything and they will share the ball to get some help. Expect this bet to hit if the Mavericks keep it close.

Why the Over 218.5 Points Will Hit

Technically, the Thunder have had the best defense in the entire postseason through the five games they have played in with a sweep against the Pelicans and in Game 1 against the Mavericks. However, there is firepower on both of these teams. The postseason is different, but the Thunder were third in scoring 120.1 points per game, while the Mavericks were seventh in scoring at 117.9 points per game. In comparison for the playoffs, the Thunder are scoring 107.6 points per game and the Mavericks are scoring 105.3 points per game. These two teams have some of the best individual scorers in the postseason too in Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving for the Mavericks and then Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren. Expect this over to hit with the Mavericks playing better on offense than in Game 1.

Why Jalen Williams Will Record Over 20.5 Points

The Thunder have been excelling in the postseason so far because of their balance. Five different players are averaging over double digits with both Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams averaging over 20 points per game. Williams averages over this number for the postseason at 20.6 through five games. He has hit over this number in three out of the five games they have played in so far this postseason. Williams is the perfect sidekick to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on the Thunder. Williams is a scorer and a shooter who can get his shot wherever needed on the court while Gilgeous-Alexander runs the offense and sets him up. Williams is the key because Gilgeous-Alexander can not do everything on his own and the Thunder's strength is on the perimeter this season.

Final Mavericks-Thunder Game 2 Prop Bets Prediction & Pick

Expect all kinds of fireworks in this game on offense. The Mavericks and the Thunder have the firepower and it is about time both teams experience a breakout performance on that side of the ball. Doncic should be superman once again for the Mavericks, Williams should be a difference maker and thanks to both performances we should see the over hit in this game. These offenses are primed for a big game.
