Dallas Mavericks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Klay Thompson (foot) has been listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's encounter with the Knicks. A left foot problem has taken Thompson out of the lineup for the first time this season, and he might have to sit out a second consecutive game. With Thompson unavailable, Naji Marshall rejoined the starting five and came up big in Monday's 129-119 win over Atlanta, scoring 22 points and grabbing six rebounds. Marshall isn't really known as a scorer but has now tallied 20-plus points in three consecutive games. The Knicks defense hasn't been too good this season, giving Marshall a decent shot at continuing his scoring streak.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Caleb Martin (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Houston Rockets due to lower back soreness, according to Paul Hudrick of Liberty Ballers. If Martin cannot play, the 76ers' frontcourt will be notably thin, as Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (knee) are already sidelined with knee injuries. Guerschon Yabusele, KJ Martin, and Eric Gordon are expected to see more playing time in Martin's absence.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (illness) will play on Monday against Atlanta, with the team upgrading him from questionable to available. The veteran star was considered iffy for the game with an illness. With Luka Doncic (wrist) and Klay Thompson (foot) out of the lineup, Dallas' chances will largely depend on Irving's performance on Monday. Following a couple of quiet outings, Irving posted 27 points with six assists in Sunday's 123-118 overtime loss to Miami.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Klay Thompson (foot) will not take the court on Monday against Atlanta. The team has downgraded Thompson from questionable to out. Considering this is the second leg of a back-to-back, it was always looking unlikely that Thompson would be in the Mavericks lineup. Naji Marshall might step back into the starting lineup as a result of Thompson's absence. He's done well in the role this season, averaging 10.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.0 steals.

Due to an illness, Dallas Mavericks guardKyrie Irving(illness) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. However, he participated in the team's afternoon shootaround, according to Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network. The Mavs backcourt could be very thin withKlay Thompson(foot) also questionable,Quentin Grimes(illness) doubtful, andLuka Doncic(wrist) out. If Irving is unavailable, Jaden Hardy,Spencer Dinwiddie, andNaji Marshall will likely see added playing time.
