Isaiah Hartenstein had 16 points and 12 points — and scored Oklahoma City's only two field goals of the final 8:28 — as the Thunder withstood a furious Dallas rally to beat the Mavericks 101-94 on Mon...

The lack of assists does suggest play-making needs to improve, but it's also difficult to record a plethora of assists when shots simply aren't falling on a consistent basis.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 13 of his 23 points in the third quarter, helping the Oklahoma City Thunder stay undefeated with a 101-94 road win over the Dallas Mavericks on Monday.

The Thunder won 54 games against the spread last season, while failing to cover 28 times.

Superstar Anthony Davis is cleared to play, a crucial boost for the team.

The Philadelphia 76ers (3-0) and Washington Wizards (1-2) meet Tuesday. Tip-off from Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., is set for 7 p.m. ET.

The Thunder are favored by 10.5 points.
