As previously noted, the Mavericks will be without Luka Doncic due to a reported calf strain pending more testing.

We can still lose against Dallas without Donic. They have Irving and athletic bigs and hustle, plus any random guy will have a career best against us. Book it!

Unless coach figures out that Dunn is a defensive stopper and can be used in-game if Mavs have a hot hand. It might not be part of a game plan, but it is theoretically possible to adjust during the game.

Hoping for something postive against Dallas!

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin Booker, Grayson Allen and Bol Bol remain OUT.

Mavericks' Luka Doncic out at least month with calf injury

How long will Luka Doncic be out with a calf injury? The Dallas Mavericks star will miss at least a month starting Friday against the Phoenix Suns.

Hopinn right suns team shows vs dreaded mavs

MY 420 suns fan stress candy cube edibles will rdy fingers crossed!

[somethingshesaid]

Could it be that Bradley Beal likes Devin Booker just fine but has terrible chemistry with him? I note that Beal's strong game happened while Booker was out, although he must have had good games at times when Booker is on the court.

 

[leclerc]

Beal needs to bring it tonight.

They don't work together. That is pretty clear by now.

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin Booker is OUT. He will also miss the game with the Warriors tomorrow.

Grayson Allen and Bol Bol are also OUT.

Ryan Dunn will start for the Suns.

 

[Mainstreet]

Tip-off.

 

[Mainstreet]

Someone left Gafford uncovered on that layup.

 

[Mainstreet]

Mavericks quickly ahead 11-2.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Lol… 3 minutes in and I’m already done with this game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nurkic has had a couple of good opportunities to score but couldn't convert.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns cut the Mavericks lead to 14-12.

Drive the lane when it is open

 

[Mainstreet]

There must be a slight video delay as the announcers are ahead of the play.

 

[BirdGangThing]

yay it's another 3pt competition

 

[Mainstreet]

Drive the lane when it is open

And rebounding would help.
