What to Know

On Saturday, the Oklahoma City Thunder will fight it out against the Dallas Mavericks in a Western Conference playoff contest at 3:30 p.m. ET at American Airlines Center. Coming off a loss in a game the Thunder were expected to win, they now face the more daunting task of proving themselves against unfavorable odds.

The Thunder are probably headed into the match with a chip on their shoulder considering the Mavericks just ended the team's ten-game winning streak on Thursday. They fell 119-110 to the Mavericks.

Luka Doncic and PJ Washington were among the main playmakers for the Mavericks as the former shot 5-for-8 from downtown and dropped a double-double on 29 points and ten rebounds and the latter shot 7-for-11 from beyond the arc and dropped a double-double on 29 points and 11 rebounds. Doncic had some trouble finding his footing against the Thunder on Tuesday, so this was a step in the right direction.

Coming into game 3 both teams are all tied up with one victory apiece. So who wins this crucial Game 3 matchup? Check CBS Sports after the game to find out.
