The Oklahoma City Thunder (4-0) head south a few hours on Wednesday night to face the Dallas Mavericks (2-2). The Thunder are playing their 3rd game in 5 nights, but the Mavericks are playing their 4th game in 6 nights. Neither team has a clean bill of health, so the expectation is a close game.

Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Favored on the Road Against Mavericks Despite Lengthy Injury Report

Zachary LowOctober 28, 2026 1 Comment

OKC is far and away the better team, but tonight’s injury report could make this one more interesting than normal. The Thunder are missing Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace for the season, but Chet Holmgren and Alex Caruso are also out tonight. Add to it that Ajay Mitchell could be missing, and OKC could be without 5 of their top 7 players.

Oklahoma City Thunder | Game #62 Preview: Dallas Mavericks

Zachary LowMarch 1, 2026 No Comments

After a pretty difficult schedule in February that featured 10 of 12 games against playoff teams, the Thunder get some relief with what should be an easier game to manage in Dallas. Still, in spite of the injuries and the difficult schedule, OKC went 7-5 in February, staying atop the Western Conference standings. The Thunder still has one of the toughest remaining schedules, but even more important than finishing as the top seed in the West is getting the team fully healthy. As they inch closer to that, OKC’s depth will play a huge role, as they should be able to help manage games like this one against a lesser Dallas squad, giving everybody a little bit of a rest.

Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Heads to Dallas as Massive Favorite Against Mavs

Zachary LowMarch 1, 2026 1 Comment

The Mavericks have lost 12 of their last 14 games, and 7 of those losses have been double-digit defeats. OKC isn’t completely healthy yet, but Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is back, and it looks like he hasn’t missed a beat. Shai’s absence did the Thunder some good, though, as OKC’s backcourt seems more suited for stepping up when he’s off the floor. This should be a good game to cover the spread simply because the Thunder’s depth is so much better.

Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Looks to Extend Winning Streak as Heavy Home Favorite Over Mavs

Zachary LowDecember 5, 2025 1 Comment

OKC feels like an unstoppable force. Even when it feels like an opposing team has a chance, the Thunder down the stretch is inevitable. The Mavericks, on the other hand, continue to improve as Anthony Davis stays healthy and Cooper Flagg settles into his role, but they’re still a struggling squad. Their 3-game win streak ends tonight, but I don’t think it will quite be a blowout as the spread suggests, so I’m taking Dallas to cover, even if it is on a couple of late baskets.
