Despite playing on the road against a solid Western Conference foe, the Thunder is a small favorite in this matchup, probably because of the long injury list from Dallas. OKC is a full go aside from the recently acquired Gordon Hayward, while the Mavs are down Dereck Lively II (nasal fracture) and possibly Maxi Kleber (dislocation of small right toe; nasal fracture). Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving are both probable, but still, OKC has far better depth, and that should help them pull out the win in Dallas.
