After snapping a two game losing streak in a win against the Phoenix Suns, the Oklahoma City Thunder continue their battle in the Western Conference as they go up against the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs are desperately in search of a victory after encountering tough losses on the road and winning 3 out of their last 10 games.
Despite being ranked 12th in the Western Conference, the Mavericks, when playing on their home court, are a different team. They are 14-3 when playing on their home court and 2-15 when playing on the road, with those 14 home wins second to only the Warriors on their home court.
