OKC vs DAL Dream11: Dallas Mavericks will be looking to return back to winning ways when they play Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2019-20 NBA regular-season match at Chesapeake Energy Arena, on Tuesday morning. That defeat came against Utah Jazz as Luka Doncic and Co fell short 112-107 at Vivint Smart Home Arena. It was the second loss for the Mavs in the last three games and fourth in the last 10 matches. But Dallas are having a good season, as they continue to enjoy a lofty position in the Western Conference standings, currently sitting at 5th heading into this game.
Oklahoma City Thunder, on the other hand, are on a five-game winning run, last winning 104-113 against Minnesota Timberwolves. That run of results, coupled with San Antonio Spurs’ own topsy-turvy form, has created seven-game daylight between them and Spurs in ninth place.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Dallas Mavericks team news:
Oklahoma City Thunder: The Thunder could be without as many as five players for the home game against the Mavericks.
