I think SGA being limited is one thing, but I think the main thing the Mavs have to do is slow down Jaylin Williams. SGA will foul bait his way to 30. But if they can limit the other guy to less than 20 then OKC doesn't have much else. They're relying on Giddey to attack and to be fair the Mavs want that.
41% of OKC's shots came from 3 against NOP. The Clippers shot 40% of their shots from 3 as well. Limiting their other guys from the perimeter and making this an inside game is key.
Speaking inside, the 2nd most important thing is taking Chet out of the game. Doing that, OKC has really no other big that can be trusted. Biyombo will be destroyed by Luka. Lively and Gafford have their work cut out for them. If they can be physical and overpower Chet, while also providing the same suffocating rim protection they gave the Mavs in the 1st round they are cooking with something there.
