The Oklahoma City Thunder will play host to the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday to close out a six game home stand. The Thunder will be without their entire stable of centers while the Mavericks are also short handed missing out on superstar guard Luka Doncic who has a knee contusion.

The Mavericks are on the second night of a back to back as Oklahoma City has the rest advantage. These two teams technically rekindle their rivalry though without the fireworks as each side misses key pieces.

Oklahoma City is 3-0 since losing Chet Holmgren a week ago today, but Dallas is the tallest task yet with their rotation of centers from Dereck Lively II to Daniel Gafford and even Dwight Powell.
