The Western Conference playoff landscape for the 2024-25 season is shaping up with several teams making significant changes. The Dallas Mavericks have bolstered their roster with Klay Thompson, aiming for another deep playoff run.
Meanwhile, the Oklahoma City Thunder look to maintain their dominance with new additions, while the Minnesota Timberwolves will adapt after trading Karl-Anthony Towns. The LA Clippers, who finished fourth last season, face a new era after Paul George's departure, relying on James Harden and recovering star Kawhi Leonard.
In a recent preseason matchup, the Clippers triumphed over the Mavericks, who struggled without key players Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. The Mavericks remain winless in preseason play but are hopeful for improvement as they prepare for their final exhibition game.
