Mavericks at Thunder – NBA Picks, February 16, 2010: The Dallas Mavericks (32-20) head north up I-35 to Oklahoma City to take on the Thunder (30-21) as NBA regular season play resumes Tuesday night (8:05 pm Eastern). One difference fans will see is the addition of Caron Butler and Brendon Haywood, acquired from the Wizards prior to the All-Star game. Dallas will welcome the new additions, especially those of Butler, a player who can put points on the board.

Prior to the All-Star break, the Thunder were on a roll winning six straight games and covering against the spread in five of them. Dallas has been terrible since the new year arrived having lost 15 of their last 20 games and have failed to cover the betting spread in nine of their last 11.
