Thunder vs. Mavericks prediction, picks

Justin Martinez: OKC 115, Dallas 108

Dallas earned one 121-119 win over OKC without Doncic on November 17, but I don’t see that happening again. OKC is the hottest team in the league, as seen in its destruction of Cleveland on Thursday, and Cason Wallace was the only starter to play in the fourth quarter of the blowout victory. The Thunder should be rested enough to beat the Mavericks, who won’t be able to impose their will this low without Dereck Lively II (ankle).
