Thunder vs Mavericks predictions, picks
Justin Martinez: OKC 119, Dallas 106
Dallas will likely be without centers Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford, who are both listed as doubtful on the second night of a back-to-back. But OKC’s star big man, Chet Holmgren, will play despite initially being listed as questionable. He’ll continue to form a dynamic scoring duo with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and the Thunder’s impressive cast of role players should also continue to shine. Give me OKC on the road.
