Luka Doncic (wrist strain) and Kyrie Irving (shoulder soreness) were both listed as questionable on Sunday’s injury report, with Klay Thompson (plantar fascia), Dereck Lively II (knee hyperextension), Naji Marshall (illness) and Dante Exum (wristband). ) all excluded.

Ruled out before warmups would be Kyrie Irving, who will miss his second game of the season. He had 30 points in their win over the Jazz on Saturday night. They will miss his steady presence as he has been rock solid for the Mavs in the fourth quarter.

Luka Doncic has completed the warm-up and will be available. He missed the previous five games due to the wrist strain he suffered against the Pelicans. They need a big game from him with so many players out.

Klay Thompson will miss his fourth straight game with his plantar fascia, while Dereck Lively’s injury is new. He played nearly 23 minutes against the Jazz on Saturday.

Naji Marshall started Saturday but missed the second half due to an upper respiratory infection.

The Mavericks and Trail Blazers will tip off just after 8:00 PM CST.
