Dallas Mavericks
The Mavs have lost seven out of their last eight but the last seven of those eight have been decided by single-digits and, in more than one case, a single basket.
Dallas lost by four in Los Angeles against the Clippers and in San Francisco against the defending champs. They lost by three inPortland after that before snapping a six-game losing skid against New Orleans before losing the next game to the Pelicans by just two.

The game after coming u pa rebound shy of a triple-double, Luke Doncic netted thirty-four points in as many minutes. He still hasn’t shot the ball particularly well, despite all the numbers and array of clutch shots, but his impact on teh Mavericks is apparent to anybody watching. He’s also sured up his turnovers and is throwing about three times as many assists as TOs.

The loss on Saturday was Dallas’ eighth in a row away from home, which is where they will be again in this game on the final day of 2018. Dennis Smith Jr. should play again after returning on Saturday, having had missed nine of Dallas’ last ten games.
Smith Jr. scored fourteen points in thirty minutes and chipped in four assists. His presence will be welcomed in this game because he matches up some with Russell Westbrook, which leaves Doncic to do damage on offense without expending too much energy on defense.
Oklahoma City Thunder
Oklahoma City blew out Phoenix in the fourth quarter to cover the number on the road Friday. It was pretty close to how I wrote it up on Thursday night — Russell Westbrook had forty and nearly another triple-double in a dominant road win.
Even more impressive was that the win came without Paul George, who was resting a thigh contusion, which is something you can do against the Phoenix Suns. George’s absence opened up a dozen minutes for the late Raymond Felton to get some run.

And, unlike last season, OKC is going to be a force in this year’s playoffs. I don’t think there’s a better team outside of Golden State than the Thunder.
With another day off, George will probably be back for this game, which gives OKC a man to shut down Doncic, or at least share the responsibility.
Dennis Schroder could factor in there, as well, depending who defends Smith Jr. What’s apparent is that the Thunder has the perimeter defenders to keep up with the Mavs’ backcourt. DeAndre Jordan vs. Steven Adams should be terrific in the trenches, too.

Free Dallas Mavericks vs. Oklahoma City Thunder NBA Prediction: OKC at home.
Because the Thunder is great at home and Dallas is terrible on the road. I like the chalk but I’m not waiting long in line to lay anything more than four or five because the Mavs will be determined to get the road monkey off the back.
