Oklahoma City Thunder -3.5
I'll keep on zigging and zagging in this series since that's the current pattern. Throw in the fact that this is a must win game for Thunder and I expect them to play with an added sense of urgency in this one. I liked the way Okie city finished game 3, coming back in the 2nd half and only losing by 6, after being completely dominated in the 1st half. Okie City is 3-0 ATS when trailing in a playoff series this year and 6-1 ATS over the past couple of seasons in a similar scenario. I like them to bounce-back in this one. Bookies are expecting a similar effort and the line is juiced up to account for the 'zig zag'. Even so, at less than 2 buckets I feel there's enough 'value' to grab an Okie City team that is 6-2 at home in these playoffs.
Good luck!

I am cheering for the mavs and feel they are the better team over-all and will win the series, but can't argue with your write up! 
The key adjustment the Thunder need to make, as noted by Hollinger, is they have to bench perkins and limit his minutes for this series. Great team player, but he is simply over-matched by chandler. In three straight games, the thunder have started out in a hole, and he has a negative +/- ..... If not for the spectacular play of the thunder bench, which i would argue was an annomally, this series could be 3-0. The flip side to that is even if they bench perkins, can collins handle the extra minutes without fouling out anyway?
.... now a brief follow-up from yesterday.... do you still feel the bulls are the better team? Seems like the heat have "figured out" how to defend the bulls, and the mid-range shooting ability of Haslem is making things hard for the bulls to cover both bosh and haslem will smothering both wade and james on offense. Yes it was a tight game, and it was a key 7 point spurt by the heat that blew this game open.... but in a tight, defense series like this one, every game is going to be decided by a "key 7-0 nothing run" in the second half. The heat are much more capable of such runs than the bulls.
