The Thunder was close to full strength Tuesday night. Danilo Gallinari, Dennis Schroder and Hamidou Diallo returned from injuries, and none faced a minutes restriction.

Diallo’s return was most notable. He missed the last 17 games with a right elbow hyperextension sprain. Diallo played 19 minutes Tuesday night. Several of them were spent guarding Mavericks star Luka Doncic.

Gallinari returned to the starting lineup after missing the last four games with left ankle soreness.
