Odds
Injury update
The Mavs listed Luka Doncic as questionable on NBA’s official injury report. He appears likely to play barring a setback. Dwight Powell remains out. Delon Wright is listed as probable with an ankle injury.
Fans should keep an eye on Michael Kidd-Gilchrist too. He practiced with the team on Tuesday. It will be interesting to see if he makes debut.
The Kings will be without Marvin Bagley III (foot), Richaun Holmes (shoulder), and Alex Len (foot) in Dallas. Jabari Parker is listed as questionable with a shoulder injury.
Storyline to follow: Luka’s impact
It will be the third meeting of the season between the two teams. They have split the first two. Luka Doncic had a monster triple-double in the last matchup. He finished with 25 points, 15 rebounds, and 17 assists in a Mavericks victory.
It will be interesting to see if Coach Carlisle limits his minutes after missing 12 days of action. Doncic played a full workload in his return after missing four games with an ankle sprain earlier this season. Expect Luka to be firing on all cylinders against the Kings inside the American Airlines Center.
