The Dallas Mavericks (21-38) host the Oklahoma City Thunder (46-15) on Sunday night, finishing out a three-game home stand where they’ve yet to win. After winning two in a row, Dallas put in two commanding tank performances against the Grizzlies and Kings. The Thunder are coming off an incredible overtime win against the Denver Nuggets.
Here’s the main things you need to know:
- WHO: Dallas Mavericks vs Oklahoma City Thunder
- WHAT: Last home game before a road trip
- WHERE: American Airlines Center, Dallas, Texas
- WHEN: 7:00 pm CST
- HOW: KFAA Channel 29, MavsTV streaming, NBA League Pass
The injury report is lengthy for Dallas, as has been the custom this year. Cooper Flagg remains out with this foot sprain,
which is starting to get concerning (but of course, this injury must heal correctly). Marvin Bagley will miss again with the neck sprain following the injury against the Kings. PJ Washington is doubtful with the same ankle sprain but the designation suggests progress on that front. Naji Marshall is questionable with a finger injury, but I bet he plays. Caleb Martin is also questionable with lower back soreness.

The Thunder have several players out as well. Jalen Williams has a hamstring injury. Ajay Mitchell has been out for a while with a few injuries. Thomas Sorber’s been out the whole year and someone named Brandon Carlson is out as well with a lower back injury.
This short homestand has been brutal, but given the state of the Dallas roster it’s not shocking. They’re tired and you can only play hard like they do for so many months before something gives. Nothing would surprise me with regard to the Thunder game tonight (well a Dallas win would); they could keep it close or get blown out.

Consider joining Josh and me on Pod Maverick live after the game on YouTube, we should start LATE. Thanks so much for spending time with us here at Mavs Moneyball. Let’s go Mavs!
