Jason Kidd with the Mavs’ pre-OKC rundown:
Luka, THJ and Maxi will be active, will have minute limit “because I don’t even know how long they’ve been out.”
Ntilikina is back after missing Friday with a left thigh contusion.
KP will rest first the night of back to back. – 5:42 PM

Thunder interim coach Mike Wilkes said Lu Dort will not play tonight vs. Mavs. Already knew Shai Gilgeous-Alexander won’t because of COVID.
2019 Mavs draft pick Isaiah Roby will get another start … as if you needed yet another reason to watch this highly anticipated clash! – 5:20 PM

Forty years ago today, Warriors Hall of Famer and Legend Al Attles captured his 500th-career victory as a coach via a 119-100 victory over Dallas. He remains the franchise’s leader in coaching victories and led the Warriors to their first NBA Championship in the Bay Area in 1975. pic.twitter.com/wQVz6Ifwdn – 5:01 PM
