Dallas at Oklahoma City 9:30 ET
Mavericks (+) over Thunder- The Mavericks are in the second round for just the second time since their 2011 championship run. Dallas made the Western Conference finals in 2022. The Thunder won three of the four meetings between the teams this season, including both matchups in Oklahoma City. Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said Doncic and Tim Hardaway Jr., who missed the last four games of the first-round series with an ankle sprain, have responded well. Doncic plans to grind through the injury, and even at less than 100 percent, he will be a focus of Oklahoma City's defensive efforts. Take DALLAS!
