The Dallas Mavericks (23-49) head back out on the road and play the Denver Nuggets (45-28) on Wednesday night. Dallas is reeling, losing four in a row, including a pair of home overtime games against the Clippers then the Golden State Warriors. Denver played in Phoenix last night and won, but they’re likely tired after having to expend a lot of energy to get that win.
Here are the main things you need to know:
There’s still much going on with the Dallas Mavericks injury report. Caleb Martin is out still with his plantar issue. Brandon Williams is questionable, a step in the right direction with the concussion he suffered. Daniel Gafford is as well, following the shoulder injury on Monday. Moussa Cisse is doubtful, he just doesn’t have enough eligibility left. The other two way guys should get to play tonight. Everyone else is playing.
The Denver Nuggets have two key players questionable in Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson. The rest of the roster gets a clean bill of health.
The Mavericks could up and steal this one. Denver’s defense has been very bad for some time now, but they make up for it with incredible offense. Dallas is going to need to bring some actual fight to this game if they want to get a win. I’d love to see Cooper Flagg bounce back rom a playmaking point of view after so many turnovers Monday.
