Oklahoma City plays the Dallas Mavericks after Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 40 points in the Thunder's 134-114 win against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson has been selected to lead one of the four teams in the 2025 NBA All-Star Game.

Thunder All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander suffered an injury against the Cavs, forcing him to miss Friday's matchup against the Mavericks

Sam Vecenie of The Athletic recently put together his NBA Trade Board and named the Cavaliers as a fit for Utah forward John Collins. Cleveland desperately needs more forward depth, especially after the recent injuries to Caris Levert and Isaac Okoro. Collins could be an intriguing option for the front office to pursue.

Irving is listed on the injury report as he continues to deal with a lumbar back sprain. Meanwhile, Dereck Lively II (right ankle sprain), Luka Doncic (left calf strain) and Dante Exum (right wrist surgery) are all out for Friday's game. It is worth noting that Mavs head coach Jason Kidd previously said he expects Irving to play on Friday.

The Mavericks are in a more precarious situation this time around. Dallas entered the season with the most roster depth it’s had since Luka Doncic was drafted, but injury and illness have prevented the team from realizing its potential.
