Dirk Nowitzki said today that expects to play Monday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder if he doesn’t have any setbacks to his right adductor muscle after a rigorous practice on Sunday.

He will take part in the morning shootaround and said if that goes well, he’ll be in the lineup after missing two games with the injury.

“I feel OK,” Nowitzki said after Sunday’s workout in Phoenix.
