They face off against Shai Gilgeous Alexander who is putting up almost 30 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists a game. The Thunder while still in an awkward state of affairs looks to be headed in the right direction.
They might even tank to get their hands on the no.1 pick this year, the coveted Victor Wembanyama. It is the opposite for the Dallas Mavericks, who look to get to the NBA Finals for the first time since their famous win in 2011.
