NBA 2018-19: 3 Talking points from the Dallas Mavericks vs Oklahoma City matchup

#1 Impactful double-double by DeAndre Jordan

It is always a tough task for a center to play against one of the best rebounding teams in the league, the Oklahoma City Thunder. But in his performance on Sunday, Jordan completely dominated the glass and finished with 17 rebounds. He finished with 12 points to complete a double-double along with two blocks, two steals and one assist in 33 minutes of play.

It is the sixth time in the last nine games that he has grabbed at least 15 rebounds. He is averaging a double-double this season with 11.3 points and 14.3 rebounds.

The veteran came with a huge highlight in the dying minutes of the last quarter first by picking the Paul George's pocket and then dunking over him.

The two teams will meet again on Monday at the Ford Center in Oklahoma. As the Thunder will look to settle the score with home court advantage and the Mavs will look to push the momentum forward, the next game will have a playoff game kind-of atmosphere.
