OKC Thunder -12
All over the Thunder tonight. Yes, this is the largest line we've seen so far this NBA preseason, with that being said this is still not enough points for the Mavericks. The Mavericks are last in scoring so far and OKC has the second best defense according to stats. Mavs are averaging 84 points a game so far this preseason, while OKC is averaging 117.5. Thunder coach Billy Donovan has stated he is looking to extend Westbrook and Durant's minutes this game as they both were around the 23:00 minute mark last game. OKC's bench is hands down better than the Mavericks starting line up and this is the healthiest Thunder team we've seen in awhile; the Mavericks had a very busy off season losing a variety of players and bringing in a bunch of new faces. Look for the Thunder to give their fans a first-hand glimpse of what is to come this season while allowing KD to get back into playing form coming back from the injury. I don't see this game being remotely close.
