The Mavericks are down a few big names for Sunday's game
The Dallas Mavericks are playing on the second night of a back-to-back against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday, and they enter this game banged up. The Utah Jazz must have taken a toll on them, because half of Dallas' roster was listed on the injury report for this game.
Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving were both listed as questionable in Sunday's injury report, with Klay Thompson , Dereck Lively II , Naji Marshall , and Dante Exum all ruled out.Kyrie Irving would be ruled out before warmups, who will miss his second game of the season. He had 30 points on Saturday night in their win over the Jazz. They'll miss his steadying presence, as he's been rock solid in the fourth quarter for the Mavs.
Luka Doncic went through warmups and will be available. He missed the five games before this with the wrist strain he suffered against the Pelicans. They'll need a big game from him with so many players out. Klay Thompson will miss his fourth consecutive game with his plantar fascia, while Dereck Lively's injury is a new one. He played nearly 23 minutes against the Jazz on Saturday.AUSTIN VEAZEY
