OKC vs DAL Dream11 Match Prediction

 

OKC vs DAL Dream11: Fresh from beating the defending champions Toronto Raptors, Oklahoma City Thunder will look to maintain the momentum when they host fellow Western Conference rivals Dallas Mavericks in the NBA at  Chesapeake Energy Arena, on Wednesday morning (IST).
Thunder have seemingly recovered from the slow start and are more consistent these days. No wonder, they are in a good position on the table, sitting at 7th in the Western Conference power ranking. They are 7-3 in the last 10 games, and 11-6 in front of the home fans. Thunder have also been pretty decent against the conference teams, holding a positive return at 12-11 against the teams from the West, which is more than decent considering the profile of the teams in the West.
Dallas Mavericks also continue to surprise one and all, especially their superstar Luka Doncic who is now a genuine name in the MVP conversation. But Dallas has been forced to play without Doncic in the last couple of weeks due to injury, and his absence has affected the team’s performance. Dallas are 5-5 in the last 10 matches, losing the last game 108-95 against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Grand League tips:

• A lot will depend on the availability of Luka Doncic who is considered a doubt for this game. If he plays, he should be the number one captain pick.
• But if Doncic doesn’t play, there are quite a few players who can pop up with game-high numbers but on current form, you have to consider Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who arrives in this game with his joint career-best night in the last game.
• Kristaps Porzingis is another player who is in a rich vein of form. The former New York Knicks big man is averaging more than 17 points per game and is rebounding at 9.4 per game.
