Today in the NBA, the Thunder welcome the Mavericks in what should be an entertaining match at the Ford Center. If you plan to watch Oklahoma City Thunder vs Dallas Mavericks live, stream online, or on TV today then first check out our Oklahoma City vs Dallas match preview.
Oklahoma City Thunder vs Dallas Mavericks
The Thunder go into this one with a 68% winning record, and naturally as underdogs against the Dallas Mavericks. Scott Brooks will be sure to keep an eye on the Dallas streak (W 4), but the key against Mavericks will be containing Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Kidd and Shawn Marion. The Thunder point differential is 2.2 this season (good for number 10 in the NBA), but not as good as the Dallas Mavericks’s average winning margin of 5.9 in the 2010-2011 NBA season.
Playing on the road, the Mavericks will need to play to their strengths and their 33.4 defensive rebounds per game is their strongest statistical attribute (and 1st in the whole league in that area). Rick Carslie’s team is 23-5 this season and today will hope to improve their 10-1 record away from American Airlines Center. 
Oklahoma City have been dominating their opponents this season in the free throws made departement, with a 7.8 free throws made differential advantage over their opponents on average over the season. Their 26.5 free throws made average per game is 1st in the NBA, and that will be an area that Rick Carslie and his coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen the Thunder’ 11-5 home record.The fans in the Ford Center are in for a treat today and if you want to join them and watch Thunder vs Mavericks online live streaming on NBA League Pass or on your TV – then make sure to tune in at 20:00 ET today.
