What to Know
On Thursday, the Oklahoma City Thunder will fight it out against the Dallas Mavericks in a Western Conference playoff contest at 9:30 p.m. ET at Paycom Center. The Thunder are coming into the match hot, having won their last ten games.
The Thunder are headed into this one after the oddsmakers set last week's over/under low at 219.5, but even that wound up being too high. Everything went their way against the Mavericks on Tuesday as the Thunder made off with a 117-95 victory.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander got back to being his usual excellent self, as he almost dropped a triple-double on 29 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists. He had some trouble finding his footing against the Pelicans last Monday, so this was a step in the right direction.
The Thunder are winning the series right now, leading the Mavericks 1-0. Check back on CBS Sports after the game to see if the Thunder can extend their lead or if the Mavericks can make up some ground.
