The Oklahoma City Thunder (4-0) head south a few hours on Wednesday night to face the Dallas Mavericks (2-2). The Thunder are playing their 3rd game in 5 nights, but the Mavericks are playing their 4th game in 6 nights. Neither team has a clean bill of health, so the expectation is a close game.

OKC is far and away the better team, but tonight’s injury report could make this one more interesting than normal. The Thunder are missing Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace for the season, but Chet Holmgren and Alex Caruso are also out tonight. Add to it that Ajay Mitchell could be missing, and OKC could be without 5 of their top 7 players.

Isaiah Sategna III gave Oklahoma’s passing game a much-needed explosive weapon, while David Stone and PJ Adebawore made their presence felt up front. But a disastrous afternoon on field-goal attempts nearly cost the Sooners a more comfortable victory in Starkville.

The Oklahoma City Thunder (3-0) hosts the Phoenix Suns (1-1) on Monday for the second game of a back-to-back. OKC is still working through the emotions of losing Jalen Williams to a horrific lower-left leg injury that will likely cause him to miss extended time, if not the rest of the season. Cason Wallace and Jaylin Williams also did not return in the second half after playing just five minutes each in the first half before getting hurt. Still, the Thunder are no strangers to playing with injuries.

OKC is still reeling from the Jalen Williams injury last night against the Clippers, and now they have to turn around and play another game. That’s not an easy task, especially when you could tell how the guys were dealing with it emotionally. Still, injuries are not uncommon around this group, and while I’m sure they will respond just fine, the Suns had some rest yesterday. If Cason Wallace is out also, slowing down Devin Booker becomes a lot more difficult, and all of a sudden, this game is closer than it should be. I think Phoenix is going to keep it close.
