The Thunder hosts the Mavericks at the Paycom Center, for the NBA regular season. The locals have established themselves as one of the most dominant teams in the league this season. Led by a Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in a state of grace, with an impressive average of 32 points per game, the Thunder shines night after night. The Canadian, a true superstar of the team, perfectly assumes his role as leader, especially in the absence of Chet Holmgren. Under his influence, OKC flies over the Western Conference and proudly occupies 1st place in the standings. Already at the top of this conference last season, Mark Daigneault’s men seem to have taken another step forward. With an exceptional record of 36 victories for only 7 defeats, Oklahoma City asserts itself as a serious contender for the title this year.
The visitors are going through a difficult period, with 5 defeats in their last 6 matches. The absence of Luka Doncic weighs heavily on the team, leaving a significant void in offensive creation and general organization of the game. Although Kyrie Irving has a string of impressive individual performances, he alone cannot compensate for the collective flaws . The team is struggling to maintain a consistent level of play. Added to this are defensive difficulties which further complicate their situation. To get things back on track, the Mavs will need to strengthen their cohesion and find collective solutions quickly. In an ultra-competitive Western Conference, a reaction is essential to stay in the race for the playoffs.
