Preview, predictions, TV and injury report for tonight's Oklahoma City Thunder v Dallas Mavericks game

In the last day of the 2023/24 NBA regular season, which will be played today, Sunday, and will see the 30 teams that make up the competition in action, Oklahoma City Thunder and Dallas Mavericks will face each other in a game that should have a clear winner, as the Texas franchise will rest its main players, while OKC is playing for the first place in the Western Conference. The stars of the game will be Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jaden Hardy.

The Mavs will play as visitors in a game that will be played with all substitutes. The Texan team will finish the season in 5th place in the West, and will face the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round of the playoffs, so they want to arrive at the important date with all their stars at 100% of their capabilities, especially Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.

The Thunder, meanwhile, have everything in their hands to certify their first place in the West, and reach the playoffs with home-court advantage in all the playoffs they can play. The three-way tie between OKC, Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets, with 56-25, benefits the first of them, so it is up to them to take the throne of the Conference.
