The Oklahoma City Thunder will travel to face the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. They continue their three-game road trip. It’s the start of a road-and-home back-to-back for OKC. This will be the first matchup of the season between the two squads.
The Thunder (3-0) enjoyed their first stress-free game after two 2OT classics. They had a 117-100 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 30 points in three quarters. Chet Holmgren had an efficient 31 points.
Meanwhile, the Mavericks (1-2) are on the second night of a home back-to-back. They easily scored against the Toronto Raptors on Sunday in a 139-129 win. Anthony Davis had 25 points and Cooper Flagg had 22 points.
It’ll be the same long list of players out for the Thunder. Jalen Williams (wrist surgery) is out. Chet Holmgren (back soreness) is questionable. Alex Caruso (concussion) is out. Isaiah Joe (knee contusion) is out. Kenrich Williams (knee surgery) is out. Nikola Topic (testicular surgery) is out. Thomas Sorber (torn ACL) is out.
Because this is a back-to-back, the Mavericks have yet to submit their injury report. That said, we know of at least one absence. Kyrie Irving (torn ACL) is out. Others remain to be seen.
Tipoff from Dallas is set for 7:30 p.m. CT.
