This is a huge revenge game for Oklahoma City, which was embarrassed by the Mavericks by a 97-81 score as a six-point favorite on Nov. 25. The Thunder had a six-game winning streak snapped on Friday, losing to Milwaukee 97-95 on a controversial play at the buzzer when Giannis Antetokounmpo scored after it appeared he stepped out of bounds. Dallas has won three straight, but the Mavericks still are a half-game out of last place in the Southwest Division. Russell Westbrook is averaging 31.4 points, 10.1 assists, and 9.1 rebounds over his last seven games, of which the Thunder won six. Oklahoma City is 14-5 at home and Dallas is 4-14 on the road. Paul George is out for this game, but play the Thunder on the moneyline.
