Dallas Mavericks @ Oklahoma City Thunder

The young team that Thunders have, can lead the team to playoff spots. They are showing that they can be mature, and have an all star as Durant, one of the best scorers in NBA. One of the few teams that can contradict team is Dallas.

Thunders were underrated by most of the teams in the beginning of the season, but lately those teams seems confuse, with difficult to know how to handle with team. However they forget that this team, despite they dont show, they are young. Rookies and sophomores are the most important players in this team.

Dallas get a good trade, with Haywood, Stevenson and all star Butler. This players will give more talent and strenght to the team, and also more bench depth. They will face this second part of the season with a good roster, that can give gurantees to Cubain, who said last year "We just suck".

Dallas know how to handlee with Thunders, and their new players will show why they deserve a spot, and will likely be better than they were in Wizards, as they will play in a team that plays more as they like.
