WHO: Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Dallas Mavericks
WHAT: Ending the first half of the season on a positive note, plus a three game winning streak!
WHERE: American Airlines Center, Dallas, TX
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. CST
HOW: Fox Sports Southwest
THE STORY: The Mavericks finally climbed back over .500 after a win against the Orlando Magic on Monday. Now the Mavericks can keep up their winning ways against a weird, funky but also bad Thunder team.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is about the only Thunder player currently worth a damn and, jeez, he’s really great. Dallas will reportedly be without Luka Doncic, as it appears the Mavericks are trying to sneak in a rest day against a bad team since Doncic won’t have the entire All-Star break off. While the Thunder aren’t currently that good, Shai is very good, they have a bunch of young, springy guys to throw on the court and the Mavericks are without Luka. It could be a very entertaining game either way!
