Injuries

Oklahoma City

Mitch McGary listed as questionable for Game 1 with an undisclosed family manner

Dallas

Chandler Parsons is OUT for the series (knee surgery for torn meniscus)

Jeremy Evans is OUT for the series (shoulder surgery)

Devin Harris is QUESTIONABLE for Game 1 (thumb injury)

J.J. Barea is QUESTIONABLE for Game 1 (groin injury)

David Lee is QUESTIONABLE for Game 1 (heel injury) *suffered on Wednesday night

As we can tell, Oklahoma City enters the playoffs with almost a fully healthy team as even McGary plays a very small role on the team. A different story for Dallas as they limp into the playoffs using the “next man up” mantra to continue the fight. A healthy Barea, Lee, and Harris is crucial for the Mavs heading into he weekend. Barea looks to be playing while the severity of Lee and Harris’ injuries are unknown.
