We’re down to three weeks to go here, and today we have a ton of B2B action to throw the slate off. Let’s go over what we learned this morning/afternoon first. It’s a lot.
Afternoon/Morning Updates
The Mavs’ injury report got a little bigger this morning with six players now questionable. Luka Doncic (elbow), Kristaps Porzingis (ankle), Maxi Kleber (back), Dorian Finney-Smith (leg), J.J. Redick (heel) and Josh Richardson (hamstring) are all questionable. Basically, everyone could sit here in this B2B. We know Luka suffered his elbow injury on Saturday and he was able to play through it, but he might sit on a B2B. J-Rich’s issue seems to be ongoing, but it’s a hammy and he was a mid-day add on Saturday. He’s probably the most likely to sit. Coach Rick Carlisle said it was big that DFS was able to keep his minutes down, so it’s likely something he’s been playing through. I’d guess he’s managed in the B2B and sits on the night most guys are out there while he’d play when multiple players are out. KP suffered the injury on Thursday and sat out Saturday, but Carlisle said after Thursday that KP didn’t need a boot and he was only wrapped up. He should have a shot to play either tonight or tomorrow, but probably not both. Kleber has been playing through his back issue for a while, so he’s likely sitting out today or tomorrow, and Redick’s heel thing was an issue from earlier this year.
