Hunter Maldonado erupted for 25 points in the loss to the Warriors. He piled up his points not with long-range shots but with a consistent mid-range game with slashes to the basket. Mavericks fans will be interested to see if he can keep it up.
Ajay Mitchell and Dillon Jones, who were held out in the said game, are likely returning for the Thunder.

Dallas Mavericks Summer League Roster
Jazian Gortman, who went undrafted last year after jumping out of Keenan High School, had a quietly solid night in Dallas’ win over Boston. The 6-foot-2 guard scattered 13 points with seven rebounds, five assists and two steals. He will have his chance to sustain that performance on Saturday.
All eyes, though, will be on A.J. Lawson and Olivier-Maxence Prosper, who could add depth to the Mavericks’ rotation next season. They combined for 43 points, six rebounds and six assists against the Celtics.

OKC Thunder vs Dallas Mavericks: Prediction
Ajay Mitchell and Dillon Jones’ expected returns will give the Thunder a boost. The Mavericks, though, have shown better execution on both ends of the floor despite their 1-2 record.
Olivier-Maxence Prosper and A.J. Lawson, players with NBA experience, should be enough to carry the Mavs to another victory.
