Dec. 28 – vs. Oklahoma City Thunder (Durant and Westbrook Come to Town)

It’s always fun when the I-35 rivalry goes down. Last season’s games against the Thunder were some of Dallas’ highlights late in 2013-14, and this year could be even better.

This will be the first time that reigning MVP Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Oklahoma City will face Dallas’ new-look roster, and they won’t play again until February. So enjoy it while you can.

The Thunder were one of the many contending teams that Dallas played well against last season, with the Mavs winning two of the three contests.

If cards are played right, this could be a Western Conference semifinals matchup come spring time.
