Dwight Powell - Will return Wednesday Powell (thigh) is available for Wednesday's matchup against Minnesota.
Impact Powell has missed back-to-back games due to a left thigh contusion, but he'll be back in the mix Wednesday. With Dorian Finney-Smith (hip) and Maxi Kleber (hamstring) out, Powell and Christian Wood should dominate the frontcourt minutes, while JaVale McGee and Davis Bertans operate as the primary backups.

Tim Hardaway Jr. - Off injury report Hardaway (illness) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Impact Hardaway will be back following a one-game absence. Since joining the starting five, he's averaged 16.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.1 assists in 29.5 minutes.
DECEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dorian Finney-Smith - Won't play Wednesday Finney-Smith (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's rematch against Minnesota.
Impact Finney-Smith is slated to miss his first game of the season due to a right adductor strain he suffered in Monday's loss to the Timberwolves. In his absence, Davis Bertans, Reggie Bullock and Christian Wood are all candidates for increased roles.
DECEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dwight Powell - Listed as questionable Powell (thigh) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Minnesota.
Impact Powell has missed back-to-back games due to a thigh injury and is questionable to miss a third. Dorian Finney-Smith (hip) and Maxi Kleber (hamstring) remain out, so if Powell is also sidelined, Christian Wood, JaVale McGee and Davis Bertans figure to man the majority of minutes in Dallas' frontcourt.
DECEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Davis Bertans - Scores season-high 18 points Bertans recorded 18 points (6-9 FG, 6-9 3Pt) and one block across 16 minutes during Monday's 116-106 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact Bertans was recently battling an illness and made just his third appearance since Dec. 5, but with Dwight Powell (thigh) and Maxi Kleber (hamstring) sidelined, the sharpshooter saw a solid role and made the most of his opportunity by scoring a season-high 18 points. Kleber is expected to be out for a month or two, so Bertans figures to get plenty of looks as a backup floor spacer in Kleber's absence, especially if he continues to shoot like he did Monday night.

Maxi Kleber Undergoes Surgery, No Timetable for Mavs Return The Dallas Mavericks announced that Maxi Kleber underwent surgery to repair a right hamstring tear.
DECEMBER 20, 2022 • KANSASCITY.COM
Christian Wood - Another double-double Wood supplied 15 points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Monday's 116-106 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact Wood has jumped into the starting lineup due to the absence of Maxi Kleber (hamstring), and the results have been impressive with back-to-back double-doubles. In fact, the big man has recorded three double-doubles in a row and has also notched at least 15 points in five of his last six appearances. Wood is averaging 19.3 points and 9.2 rebounds per game in December, but his numbers should experience an uptick as long as he remains a starter.
DECEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Spencer Dinwiddie - Scores 20 points in loss Dinwiddie finished Monday's 116-106 loss to the Timberwolves with 20 points (6-13 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 38 minutes.
Impact Luka Doncic got ejected in the third quarter, resulting in Dinwiddie having a more significant offensive responsibility down the stretch. Even though he couldn't carry Dallas to victory, he ended as one of the team's best performers and reached the 20-point mark for the fourth time over his last eight outings. He's averaging 17.4 points per game in that span.
DECEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kemba Walker - Scores 14 points off bench Walker delivered 14 points (3-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three assists and two rebounds across 24 minutes off the bench in Monday's 116-106 loss at Minnesota.
Impact Walker returned to the bench after Luka Doncic moved to back to the starting lineup, but he saw extended minutes after the former was ejected in the third quarter. Walker has scored in double digits in his last two outings, but he should continue to fill a backup role behind Doncic. Walker should only see big minutes if the Slovenian needs rest or picks up an injury.
