Dallas Mavericks vs OKC Thunder Injury Reports for April 14 | 2023-24 NBA Season 

The OKC Thunder and Dallas Mavericks close their 2023-24 NBA regular season on Sunday. The game has significant ramifications for the Thunder, with the #1 seed at stake. They hold the position but will lose it with a loss, but that seems like an unlikely proposition.

The Mavericks have booked their place in the playoffs as the fifth seed. With no implications in place over their position in the West, Dallas has opted to pull out several starters and rotation players.

The Thunder, meanwhile, have a clear injury report. Their chances of securing the #1 seed remain the best in a three-way tiebreaker against the Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets.

The Timberwolves face the Phoenix Suns, while the Nuggets take on the lottery-bound Memphis Grizzlies.

The Thunder are the obvious favorites, with the Mavericks holding their rotation out of this contest. OKC has been clinical to give up in such games, leading to its West-leading 56-25 record. The Thunder have exceeded all expectations and are about to put the cherry on top with the top seed in the record books.

The Thunder have sealed the #1 seed five times before, four of them when the team was in Seattle. The last time they were the #1 seed was in 2012-13, with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook leading their charge.

The #1 seed will be critical for the Thunder, especially if they advance in the playoffs to the second and third rounds against teams like the Dallas Mavericks, LA Clippers or Denver Nuggets, who they could face in the Western Conference Finals.
