Oklahoma City Thunder

“The Mavs most important opponent this coming season will be the OKC Thunder. Losing seven of their last eight to the Westbrook-led Thunder, the Mavs simply have to figure out how to beat this juggernaut of an offense, even without Kevin Durant. The Thunder still field a dangerous team and should strike fear into every opponent as a sleeper for the West finals.”
