By winning in Oklahoma City for the second time in the series, the Dallas Mavericks now have a chance to close out the top-seeded Thunder tonight at home (8:00 pm ET, ABC).
With a Game 4 win in Dallas, the Thunder had a chance to move within a win of the Western Conference finals with a home win in Game 5.
Instead, it was the Mavs who took the upper hand with a 104-92 win on Wednesday. OKC led 8-2 early, but Dallas never trailed again after going up 9-8, and a 10-0 run in the second quarter gave the Mavericks control that they would not relinquish from that point.
Will the Thunder deliver in Dallas to keep their season alive? Or will their sensational season come to an end at American Airlines Center? They came up with a big win there in Game 4, but the pressure is much higher tonight.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction & Best Bets
Thunder vs Mavericks Prediction: Thunder to win
Thunder vs Mavericks Best Bets: 1) Thunder +4, 2) Thunder ML, 3) Shai Gilgeous-Alexander over 30.5 points (-126 at BetOnline), 4) Jalen Williams over 22.5 points + rebounds (-135 at Bovada)
SGA is averaging 31.4 points per game, 9.0 rebounds per game, and 7.2 assists per game in this series and scored 31+ points in Game 2 (33), Game 3 (31), and Game 4 (34). Expect another big game from him with the season on the line, but he needs some help if the Thunder are to take the series to a Game 7.
Some of that required help will come from Williams, who had his worst game of the playoffs on Wednesday as he managed only 12 points, six rebounds, and three assists. That came after he shot 5 for 19 and scored only 14 points in OKC’s Game 4 win.
But he has yet to shoot below 50% in three consecutive games at any point this season, and if he keeps that trend going–which he should–it bodes well for OKC. When he has shot 50% or better this season, the Thunder are 42-12 (77.8%). When he has shot below 50% the Thunder are only 15-11 (57.7%).
