The Oklahoma City Thunder will be without starting shooting guard Victor Oladipo for Sunday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He did not travel with the team to Dallas on Sunday, meaning Russell Westbrook's top running partner will not play. 

Oladipo, 24, is averaging 16.1 points and 4.4 rebounds while shooting at 45 percent from the field in his first season with the Thunder. 

With Oladipo out, it's obvious Westbrook will take on an even larger scoring role. The MVP candidate has hit 40-plus points in each of the past four games. He's averaging 44.3 points, 11.8 rebounds and 8.5 assists during that span.
