Oklahoma City Thunder Poised to Dominate Against Struggling Dallas Mavericks

Oklahoma City Thunder is poised to approach this game with determination, aiming to secure the top spot in the Western Conference. On the other hand, the Dallas Mavericks will likely face challenges due to key players, such as Doncic and Irving, being sidelined, along with Dereck Lively II sustaining an injury. This could result in a lack of competitiveness from the Mavericks.
