NBA Playoffs: Mavericks-Thunder schedule, where to watch
The Dallas Mavericks are headed into a second-round playoff battle against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Thunder, led by standout guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, finished the regular season with the best record in the Western Conference.
Oklahoma City didn't encounter much resistance in the first round, sweeping the overmatched eighth-seeded New Orleans Pelicans who were without Zion Williamson.
The Mavericks and Thunder played four times this season, with OKC winning three of the four games, but the record could be deceiving. In the losses, the Mavericks were without Kyrie Irving in one game, Luka Doncic in another and all of the Mavs' starters sat for the final game of the season between the two teams.
The one game where the Mavericks were fully healthy was a blowout, with Dallas winning 146-111 in Daniel Gafford's debut.
