Smart Game Analysis
Oklahoma City Thunder has a 84% chance of winning the game
The league-leading Thunder are poised to extend their 13-game winning streak at home against a Mavericks squad missing Kyrie Irving and struggling with significant frontcourt injuries.
Key Analysis
- • Kyrie Irving is sidelined with a knee injury, removing Dallas's secondary playmaker and elite scoring option.
- • Oklahoma City boasts the NBA's top-ranked defense, allowing just 107.0 points per game.
- • The Thunder are in dominant form with a 21-1 record and a current 13-game winning streak.
- • Dallas center Dereck Lively II is out and Daniel Gafford is questionable, leaving the Mavericks vulnerable in the paint against Chet Holmgren.
- • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is performing at an MVP level, averaging 32.8 points per game.
- • The Mavericks must rely on rookie Cooper Flagg and Anthony Davis to control the boards, as Dallas averages 44.9 rebounds per game.
