Hello, Win Column! Doncic's Big Night Powers Mavs Past Thunder The Dallas Mavericks snapped their two-game losing streak with a big win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night. Luka Doncic led the...
Maxi Kleber - Active Monday Kleber (foot) is available for Monday's contest against the Thunder.
Impact After missing Dallas' previous contest, Kleber is officially back to availability. The veteran forward is averaging 6.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 25.4 minutes throughout his first 21 showings this season.

Josh Green - Set to miss more time Green (elbow), who has been ruled out Monday against the Thunder, will miss at least a few more games, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Green is unavailable for a second consecutive game Monday, and coach Jason Kidd said before the matchup that the 22-year-old will be re-evaluated in a couple games. It seems safe to rule him out for Wednesday's game against Cleveland, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return Friday against the Trail Blazers or Saturday against the Cavaliers.

Maxi Kleber - Considered game-time decision Kleber (foot) is considered a game-time decision for Monday's matchup against the Thunder, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Kleber was unavailable Saturday against Chicago due to right foot soreness and was questionable prior to Monday's contest, but the Mavericks will wait to see how he fares during pregame warmups before determining his status. If he's unavailable once again, Christian Wood, JaVale McGee and Davis Bertans are candidates to see increased work.

Mavs' Poor Free-Throw Shooting Shouldn't Overshadow Other Flaws The Dallas Mavericks have been plagued by poor free-throw shooting this season, but it shouldn’t overshadow roster flaws.

Luka Doncic - Will play Monday Doncic (quadriceps) is available for Monday's matchup against the Thunder.
Impact As expected, Doncic, who was listed as probable with a quadriceps injury, will suit up Monday against Oklahoma City after sitting out Saturday's loss to Chicago. Over his past 11 appearances, Doncic has averaged 31.1 points, 9.9 assists, 8.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 36.5 minutes per game.
DECEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Davis Bertans - Ruled out Bertans (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Thunder.
Impact Bertans was a late addition to the injury report Monday morning with an illness and has now been ruled out. Maxi Kleber (foot) remains questionable, so Christian Wood and JaVale McGee may be in line for increased roles behind Dorian Finney-Smith and Dwight Powell.

Davis Bertans - Dealing with illness Bertans is questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder due to an illness.
Impact Bertans was a late addition to the injury report with an illness, which is never a good sign, but it appears Dallas will wait until closer to pre-game warmups to determine his availability. Maxi Kleber (foot) is also questionable, so if both backup big men are sidelined, Christian Wood and JaVale McGee would be the top frontcourt options behind Dorian Finney-Smith and Dwight Powell.

SGA, Doncic Matchup Eye Catching Entering Monday's Meeting Both Luka Doncic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander have a shot at the MVP trophy, but on Monday only one can win.
DECEMBER 11, 2022 • KANSASCITY.COM
Jaden Hardy - Blows up for 15 points off bench Hardy finished with 15 points (5-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist, one block and one steal across 23 minutes in Saturday's 144-115 loss to the Bulls.
Impact Opportunities at the NBA level have been few and far between for Hardy during his rookie season, but he hasn't been shy about putting up shots on the rare occasions he gets some run off the bench. The blowout made that possible Saturday, and Hardy was able to set or match career highs across the board while getting extended minutes. He now owns a massive 36.7 percent usage rate over his first 42 NBA minutes, but he'll likely be much more deferential if he happens to share the floor with superstar Luka Doncic (quadriceps) at any point.
DECEMBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Chicago Bulls set a franchise record with 82 first-half points. 6 takeaways from their rout of the Dallas Mavericks. The Chicago Bulls blew out the Dallas Mavericks 144-115 on Saturday night in the first game of a back-to-back. The Bulls improved to 11-14 a...
DECEMBER 11, 2022 • BOSTONHERALD.COM
Kemba Walker - Strong production in 2022-23 debut Walker played 19 minutes and finished with eight points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five assists, two rebounds and one block in 19 minutes in Saturday's 144-115 loss to the Bulls.
Impact The Mavericks were defeated soundly while star Luka Doncic (quadriceps) sat out the second half of a back-to-back set, but the absence of Doncic at least allowed Kidd to ease Walker into the mix in a low-stress setting for his 2022-23 debut. As Kidd indicated would be the case, Walker was capped at 20 minutes, and he might not see his playing time expand much beyond that level while he continues to manage his thrice surgically repaired left knee. When available, Walker should at least provide a lift to a Dallas second unit that's lacking in scoring threats beyond big man Christian Wood.
DECEMBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Green - Set to miss Monday's game Green (elbow) will remain out for Monday's game against the Thunder.
Impact He'll be sidelined for a second consecutive contest while he nurses a right elbow sprain. Frank Ntilikina seemed to benefit the most from Green's absence in Saturday's 144-115 loss to the Bulls, as Ntilikina played a season-high 25 minutes and finished with zero points (0-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), six assists, five rebounds and one block.
DECEMBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Maxi Kleber - Questionable for Monday's contest Kleber (foot) is questionable for Monday's matchup against Oklahoma City.
Impact Kleber was sidelined for Saturday's game due to right foot soreness, but he'll have a chance to return to action Monday. However, if Kleber remains out, Christian Wood, JaVale McGee and Davis Bertans would be candidates for increased roles.
DECEMBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Luka Doncic - Should play Monday Doncic (quadriceps) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Thunder.
Impact The 23-year-old sat out Saturday's matchup with the Bulls due to a strained right quadriceps, but his absence is expected to be limited to one game. Doncic averaged 30.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 9.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks in the five games preceding his absence.
DECEMBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
JaVale McGee - Season-high 18 points McGee had 18 points (8-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and four rebounds over 17 minutes during Saturday's 144-115 loss to Chicago.
Impact McGee was on the floor for just five minutes in the first half and knocked down his only field-goal attempt before the break. With the game already well out of reach for Dallas in the fourth quarter, the big man added 15 points on 7-of-9 shooting from the field to finish with a season-high 18 points on the night. McGee also knocked down a three in the contest for the first time all season.
DECEMBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Wood - Another 20-point outing Wood provided 21 points (8-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block across 28 minutes during Saturday's 144-115 loss to the Bulls.
Impact Wood connected on just two of seven field-goal attempts for seven points in the first half before pouring in another 14 in the third quarter alone on 6-of-8 shooting from the field. He also added five boards in the quarter, giving him nine total rebounds for the third time in his last four contests. Wood has now reached the 20-point mark 10 times this season and is shooting 59 percent from the field so far in the month of December.
DECEMBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Spencer Dinwiddie - Team-high 27 points in loss Dinwiddie finished Saturday's 144-115 loss to the Bulls with 27 points (9-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight assists, four rebounds and one steal over 29 minutes.
Impact Dinwiddie was on fire in the first quarter, going 6-of-8 from the field and 3-of-3 from beyond the arc for 15 points to lead the Mavericks. He finished the first half with 22 points before adding just four more in the second half as Dallas found itself in too big of a hole to climb out of. Despite sitting for all of the fourth quarter, Dinwiddie still led the team in scoring while reaching the 20-point mark for just the second time in his last seven contests.
