The Oklahoma City Thunder could lean on Kenrich Williams in Round 2 after going away from him in the Pelicans series.
Adjustments are the name of the game in the postseason and Mark Daigneault is no stranger to switching things up. In the Thunder's first-round series against the Pelicans, Daigneault started out going to Kenrich Williams when New Orleans went smaller with Larry Nance Jr. before ditching that plan en route to an opening round sweep.
Kidd has been eager to deploy a cross-match scheme with his big man being tasked with defending Josh Giddey - in practice that looks like ignoring the Thunder guard leaving him on an island to sink or swim from beyond the arc. With the Mavericks size advantage, leaning on Cason Wallace and Aaron Wiggins will be part of the plan for Daigneault but might not be the only wrinkle he should throw out.
