DALLAS MAVERICKS 4-3 · 6TH IN WESTERN CONFERENCE
4-3 · 6TH IN WESTERN CONFERENCE
Spencer Dinwiddie 1-on-1: Mavs' guard on growing his game, Tony Brothers and more In a 1-on-1 with The Athletic, the 29-year-old opens up about his shooting improvement, relationship with his coaches and recent monologues.
JaVale McGee - Likely to play Friday McGee (neck) is probable to play in Friday's game versus the Nuggets.
Impact McGee will likely make his return Friday after missing three games due to a neck strain. McGee's return shouldn't affect the Mavericks' rotation much, as he is only averaging 9.4 minutes per game.
NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Maxi Kleber - Out again Friday Kleber (back) will remain sidelined for Friday's game versus the Nuggets.
Impact Kleber will skip his second consecutive contest while battling a back issue, leaving the Mavs' backcourt down some depth again. Fortunately, JaVale McGee (neck) is probable and should supply some reinforcement to what was a thin frontcourt Wednesday.
NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Facundo Campazzo - Dishes out five dimes Campazzo finished Wednesday's 101-92 loss to the Rockets with three points (1-7 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and three steals over 23 minutes.
Impact Campazzo was inefficient from the floor Wednesday, but he recorded season-high marks in rebounds, assists and steals during the loss. He saw increased playing time with Luka Doncic (rest) sidelined, but Campazzo hasn't been part of the Mavericks' rotation when the team is at full strength.
NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Wood - Comes close to double-double Wood contributed 26 points (9-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 101-92 loss to the Rockets.
Impact The Mavericks were shorthanded in the frontcourt Wednesday with Maxi Kleber (back) and JaVale McGee (neck) sidelined, allowing Wood to log a season-high 31 minutes off the bench. He posted his highest scoring total of the season and came within two rebounds of a double-double. Over his three appearances since returning from a two-game absence, he's averaged 20.0 points and 6.7 rebounds in 26.7 minutes per game.

'We Will Learn From This': Mavs Prove Vulnerable Without Luka Doncic The lack of offense for the Dallas Mavericks without Luka Doncic on Wednesday raises questions for Jason Kidd and company.
NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Tim Hardaway Jr. - Steps up in Doncic's absence Hardaway chipped in 28 points (10-26 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 101-92 loss to the Rockets.
Impact The 30-year-old maintained his bench role Wednesday even though Luka Doncic (rest) was held out, but Hardaway stepped up with a season-high 28 points after being held scoreless during Tuesday's narrow win over the Clippers. Hardaway has attempted at least 10 three-pointers in three of the last four matchups, and he's averaged 15.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 28.8 minutes per game during that time.
NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Reggie Bullock - Putrid start to 2022-23 Bullock finished scoreless (0-6 FG, 0-6 3Pt) with three rebounds in Wednesday's 101-92 loss to the Rockets.
Impact Bullock has started all 14 of the Mavericks' games to date, but head coach Jason Kidd may begin to consider moving the veteran wing to the bench in light of his wretched start to the season. Though he's been a productive marksman for most of his career, Bullock has connected on just 29.2 percent of his 4.6 three-point attempts per game and has also missed three of his seven free-throw attempts. When Bullock's shot isn't falling, he's not bringing much else to the table, as his averages of 2.9 rebounds, 1.0 steals, 0.9 assists and 0.1 blocks per game attest.
NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Davis Bertans - Makes season debut Bertans (knee) recorded three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and committed three fouls during three minutes of court time in Wednesday's 101-92 loss to the Rockets.
Impact Bertans checked into the game at the start of the second quarter for what was his season debut after he had been slow to recover from the right knee effusion that first cropped up during training camp. Though head coach Jason Kidd gave Bertans a look in the rotation, the 30-year-old picked up three quick fouls and wasn't used again after exiting with 8:32 left in the second quarter. Bertans may find himself outside of the rotation entirely if Maxi Kleber (back) is able to make it back for Friday's game against the Nuggets.

Davis Bertans - Left off injury report Bertans (knee) wasn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Rockets.
Impact Bertans seems poised to make his season debut against the Rockets after returning to practice Monday. While it is unclear what exactly Bertans' role will be, he will likely land close to last season, when he averaged 5.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 13.9 minutes across 22 games following a trade from the Wizards to the Mavericks.
NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
JaVale McGee - Out again Wednesday McGee (neck) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against Houston.
Impact McGee is slated to miss a third straight game due to a neck strain. Maxi Kleber (back) is also out, so Christian Wood is the only healthy center behind Dwight Powell.
NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Luka Doncic - Resting Wednesday Doncic has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Rockets for rest purposes.
Impact Doncic has been on a tear over the last two matchups, averaging 38.5 points, 12.0 rebounds and 7.5 assists in 39.0 minutes per game. The 23-year-old had appeared in each of the Mavericks' first 13 games of the season but will get a breather Wednesday. Spencer Dinwiddie and Tim Hardaway are candidates to handle increased roles against Houston, while Doncic should be back in action Friday against the Nuggets.
NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Maxi Kleber - Won't play Wednesday Kleber (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against Houston.
Impact Kleber was knocked out of Tuesday's win over the Clippers due to a low-back contusion and will be sidelined for the second half of Dallas' back-to-back set. Christian Wood is currently the Mavericks' only healthy backup big man behind Dwight Powell and Dorian Finney-Smith, but Davis Bertans (knee) could make his season debut after practicing Monday.
NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tim Hardaway Jr. - Held scoreless against Clippers Hardaway chipped in zero points (0-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and three steals in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 victory over the Clippers.
Impact Hardaway tallied 16 points in each of his two appearances prior to Tuesday's game, but he was unable to convert any of his seven field-goal attempts during the narrow win over the Clippers. However, it was encouraging to see him log a season-high three steals Tuesday. He's been held under 10 points in four of his seven appearances this month and has averaged 8.1 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 22.4 minutes per game during that time.
