One of the more interesting games on the final day of the NBA regular season features Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks taking on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder. The game tips off at 3:30 p.m. ET/2:30 p.m. CT on Sunday, April 14. The matchup will take place inside the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

The Mavericks and Thunder have both qualified for the postseason. The Mavericks will be the No. 4 or No. 5 seed, depending on how things shake out. Dallas will face the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round of the playoffs. After qualifying for the Play-In Tournament last season, the Thunder have jumped up the standings and will be a top-three seed, meaning they will have home-court advantage for at least the first round.

Dark Matter season 2’s most interesting question may be what comes after Amanda and Daniela’s choices
Amanda and Daniela made their choices. Season 2 is exploring what happens when those choices aren't enough.

For all its quantum mechanics and competing realities, Dark Matter has always been less interested in the choices people make than in what happens once they have to live with them.

Jason Dessen (Joel Edgerton) remains the character around whom most of those choices orbit. Season 1 began when an alternate version of the Chicago physicist, Jason2, abducted him and crossed into his world to take over the life he believed he should have had. That life included Daniela (Jennifer Connelly), Jason's wife and the mother of their teenage son, Charlie. The abduction also brought Jason into the life of Amanda (Alice Braga), a psychiatrist who worked on the Box project in Jason2's reality and had been romantically involved with him.
