Dallas Mavericks injury updates and expected lineup
The Dallas Mavericks who were in a disappointing losing streak of three games, finally won a game against the Eastern Conference juggernaut Indiana Pacers, defeating them 124-112.
Their center and second star Kristaps Porzingis has seen a slow start in the first five games he has played. He has averaged 20.2 points, 1.2 assists, 8.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game.
The Mavericks have some major injury concerns going into the next game. They see four of their players in Josh Richardson, Dorian Finney-Smith, Maxi Kleber and Dwight Powell all are out with NBA’s COVID-19 health and safety protocol.
The Mavs will hope that both the superstars Luka Doncic and Porzingis can step up and build on this Pacers win. They face a Spurs team who have been in a decent form recently.
