The Oklahoma City Thunder will face the Dallas Mavericks in Game 1 of the 2024 NBA playoffs second round on Tuesday. It’ll be OKC’s first game after a week’s break.
The Thunder enter the contest fully healthy. Not a single player was listed on their injury report.
Meanwhile, the Mavericks will be without Maxi Kleber (shoulder sprain) and Olivier-Maxence Prosper (ankle sprain). Luka Doncic (knee sprain) is probable.
A sweep over the New Orleans Pelicans in the first round afforded them the luxury of another extensive break between playoff series. It was a strong debut series for the trio of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren.
Meanwhile, the Mavericks clinched their first-round series over the LA Clippers in Game 6 on Friday. Doncic and Kyrie Irving went supernova. Each averaged 25-plus points in the series.
Tipoff from Oklahoma City is 8:30 p.m. CT.
