Oklahoma City Thunder vs Dallas Mavericks: Game 6 Preview
Doncic Leads Mavericks to Brink of Upset
The Dallas Mavericks are on the verge of pulling off a major upset in the Western Conference semifinals. After losing the first two games of the series at home, the Mavericks have rallied to win three straight games, including a 115-108 victory in Game 5 on Saturday night.
Mavs Looking to Close it Out
If the Mavericks can win Game 6 on Monday night in Oklahoma City, they will advance to the Western Conference finals for the first time since 2011. Luka Doncic has been sensational in the series, averaging 32.2 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 8.4 assists per game. The 23-year-old superstar has taken his game to another level in the playoffs, and he will need to continue to play at a high level if the Mavericks are going to close out the series.
Thunder Facing Elimination
The Oklahoma City Thunder are facing elimination after losing three straight games in the series. The Thunder have been led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is averaging 28.4 points per game in the playoffs. However, the Thunder have struggled to get consistent production from their supporting cast, and they have been unable to slow down Doncic.
The Thunder will need to find a way to generate more offense and slow down Doncic if they want to force a Game 7. Tip-off for Game 6 is set for 8:30 p.m. CT on Monday night in Oklahoma City.
