Nothing like going up against Jokic without Lively, Washington OR Kleber, the team's three best options to guard the world's best player, to suck the fun out of a Sunday evening Mavs game that should have been enjoyable. Maybe they'll surprise us and play hard.

Honestly feels like a good reason to rest Luka if he’s hurting. 

Give the guy some rest and just play run and gun with Kyrie at the helm and cross your fingers.

I just the starting thread picture very carefully. We’re going to need Gafford and Powell’s best.

I’d say I hope we can go small but with no PJ, that might be an even riskier endeavor. 

Mavs bench absolutely has to win the bench minutes tonight for both teams. If so then they have a shot.

Aaron Gordon is also out so if Luka does go then the Nugs will also have some matchup problems to deal with.

[DallasMaverick]

It all kinda depends on who can hit shots.

If Mavs have a scorcher, the lack of Lively and PJ is overcomable.

The guy I’m most concerned about is Murray.

Ugh, the one time Gordon misses a Mavs game, and Luka is questionable.

[StrandedOnBeauboisHill]

Stein just said Luka is going tonight.

He must've heard Gordon is out, lol.

@MFollowill
From Jason Kidd, Luka (left groin strain) is a game time decision for Mavs at Nuggets (7p CST, KFAA and MavsTV).

Why in the world are Grimes and Hardy not playing?

[KillerLeft]

Naji Marshall is on the road to becoming one of my favorite Mavericks of all time.

[GATA]

Marshall would be exactly what we need if he could hit that open 3. More Jaden Hardy. He’s been excellent thus far

[GATA]

Klay has been awful

[JamesConway912]

Dinwiddie has lost all of his isolation play skill. Just gone.

Man what a brutal possession in the corner. He’s a shell of what he was.

[Mavs2021]

Gafford, Dinwiddie, Omax and Hardy with a gimpy Luka. It´s like Kidd wants to lose.

[KillerLeft]

KyTHREEEEEEE!!!!!!

[KillerLeft]

KyTHREEEEEEE!!!!!!

If the Mavs win this game, it will be because Denver made the misguided decision to employ Russell Westbrook.
