The absence of Kevin Durant has afforded Russell Westbrook to display all his leadership skills, and desire, and of course the multi-dimentional talent. Westbrook has averaged a triple-double over his last nine games, doing things we haven't seen since MJ was in his prime with the Chicago Bulls. Oklahoma City is 12-4 over their last 16 games. Dallas made moves to improve the roster bringing in mal-contents such as Rajon Rondo and Amare Stoudemire, and it has not paid off as of yet. The Mavs are just 3-5 in their last eight and 7-7 in their last 14, not playing well at all. Portland, Golden State, and Cleveland have beaten them by a combined 67 points in three recent games. Oklahoma City is playing on the same level as those teams right now. Make the play on Oklahoma City, on the moneyline.
