The Western Conference NBA playoffs series are on their best possible moment, and next Wednesday, May 15th the confrontation between Oklahoma City Thunder and Dallas Mavericks is going to close the calendar at 07:30 pm Central Time, match where the bookmakers’ odds are placing Oklahoma City as the favorites to win the fifth game of the series.
However, it’s necessary to remember that the Thunder hasn’t been able to score more than 115 points during the last 3 games of the series, fact that is concerning as Oklahoma City is depending on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s offensive performance during the playoffs, as he is the only player that has scored more than 200 points during these final instances of the tournament.
Meanwhile, Dallas Mavericks is also crossing through a bad offensive performance as they scored more than 115 points in only 2 of their last 10 games, streak that is opposite to the offensive level shown during the regular season as they were the third-best offensive of the Western Conference with 9,664 scored points.
