This should be an easy win for the Thunder. They’re almost healthy. And have played with some momentum since the NBA All-Star break. Meanwhile, the Mavericks are full-blown tanking. You won’t even be able to recognize most of their players. Dallas will be without Flagg once again. It’s been a minute since OKC has had one of these games, but Gilgeous-Alexander should be able to rest in the fourth quarter.
Prediction:Â Thunder 121, Mavericks 103
