The Dallas Mavericks have been on fire lately, winning six games in a row heading into Sunday's clash with the Oklahoma City Thunder in OKC. The Mavs have also been solid at the betting window in the form of five covers during that span.
Dallas had no issues dispatching the Thunder last season, claiming three out of their four contests with Russell Westbrook and company while averaging 122 points in the victories.
The loss of Kevin Durant has left a glaring hole in the Thunder's lineup. Durant, who's battling hamstring issues, would've especially made a difference in Friday's loss to the New York Knicks. OKC went 3-for-29 from beyond the arc and shot 38 percent from the field overall.
