What you need to know about the Mavericks
While not quite a landslide, the contest between Dallas and the Orlando Magic this past Saturday was still a pretty decisive one as the Mavericks wrapped it up with a 108-92 victory at home. Dallas can attribute much of their success to point guard Jalen Brunson, who had 19 points along with five rebounds.
The Mavericks have a highly potent 1-2 punch in MVP candidate Luka Doncic (24.7 points, 8.7 assist, 8.5 rebounds per game) and Kristaps Porzingis (20.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists per game) that will be problematic for OKC. Dallas is 12-8 at home and 23-20 against the spread in 2021-22.
What you need to know about the Thunder
Meanwhile, OKC was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap this past Saturday as they fell 107-102 to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The top scorer for Oklahoma City was shooting guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (21 points).
OKC is stumbling into this matchup scoring the fewest points per game in the league, averaging only 100.8. Their offensive woes could make it difficult for them to keep this game close. The Thunder are 6-14 on the road and 27-14-1 against the spread this season.
