Thunder-Mavericks Preview

After a game coach Rick Carlisle called "one of the most disappointing in franchise history," the Dallas Mavericks turned the tables on the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Dallas' scoring woes, however, could worsen with Dirk Nowitzki's condition.

With Nowitzki expected to play through a bruised right knee, the banged-up Mavericks hope to keep putting the pressure on the Thunder on Thursday night as this deadlocked series shifts to the American Airlines Center.

Dallas suffered a scare Monday when Nowitzki fell early in an 85-84 road victory in Game 2 before his knee swelled up on him that night.
