Dallas Mavericks Vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Live Stream: Watch Online Western Conference Preseason Basketball At 8:00 PM ET

The Dallas Mavericks and the Oklahoma City Thunder will meet in Wichita, Kanas, Wednesday for preseason basketball at 8:00 p.m. ET.

The Mavs will come into this game extremely short-handed.

Chris Kaman, Vince Carter and Shawn Marion joined Dirk Nowitzki as a crew that remained in Dallas as the team traveled for the next-to-last preseason game.

Nowitzki is expected to miss at least a few weeks following knee surgery, while Kaman "is doing a little bit better" according to Mavs coach Rick Carlisle.

Carlisle spoke on Nowitzki's absence and what it means for the team moving forward.

"We haven't had him for two weeks, so we're kind of getting used to it, unfortunately," he said. "When Dirk's in the game, it seems like everybody gets easier shots because the defense is so focused on him. But that just means we've got to work a little bit harder, get into the paint a little more. We've got to personnel to do it, so we'll be fine."

The Mavs have one more preseason game left with the Charlotte Bobcats before starting the regular season Oct. 30 at the Los Angeles Lakers.

For the Thunder, this will be their final preseason game until their season opener Nov. 1 against the San Antonio Spurs.

OKC is 3-3 in the preseason after losing Tuesday night to the Chicago Bulls.
