Mavs' Preseason Win Over Thunder: 4 Big Observations The Dallas Mavericks defeated the OKC Thunder in their preseason opener. Here are some observations from the performance.

Christian Wood - Posts double-double in 25 minutes Wood registered 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 13 rebounds and one assist over 25 minutes in a 98-96 preseason win against the Thunder on Wednesday.
Impact Wood was dynamic in his first preseason action as a member of the Mavericks, leading all players in rebounds and adding 16 points. The big man averaged a double-double over 68 games for Houston last season after narrowly missing that milestone in his previous campaign, so there's little doubt about his ability to contribute as both a scorer and rebounder. He's expected to come off the bench for Dallas this season but should see enough minutes to again be a solid fantasy asset, though playing as a reserve on a new team does lend some risk to his outlook.

Jaden Hardy - Paces Mavs with 21 points Hardy tallied 21 points (8-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 24 minutes in a 98-96 preseason victory versus Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
Impact Hardy led all players across both teams in scoring in Dallas' first preseason contest of the campaign. The 6-foot-4 guard was selected by the Mavericks in the second round of July's draft, and he shot just 34.7 percent from the field during the Las Vegas Summer League. He isn't expected to log major NBA minutes this season but could lend an occasional scoring spark off the bench.

Josh Green - Gets start Wednesday Green will start in Wednesday's preseason matchup with the Thunder, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Green will start with Luka Doncic out due to rest. The third-year forward averaged 4.8 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.7 steals in 15.5 minutes over 67 games last season. Green will look to have an increased role this season and is expected to be the team's backup small forward.

Impact With Luka Doncic (rest) sitting out, Dinwiddie will get the start at point guard for the Mavericks' preseason opener. Rounding out the starting five are Josh Green, Reggie Bullock, Dorian Finney-Smith and Dwight Powell.

Tim Hardaway Jr. - Out for preseason opener Hardaway (undisclosed) won't play in Wednesday's preseason opener against the Thunder, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.
Impact Hardaway deemed himself 100 percent healthy following February foot surgery, but he'll still sit out the first preseason contest due to an abundance of caution. The veteran guard's next chance to suit up will be Friday against the Magic.
OCTOBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Maxi Kleber - Won't suit up for preseason opener Kleber (undisclosed) won't play in Wednesday's preseason opener against the Thunder, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.
Impact Kleber is one of a handful of Dallas' regulars who won't be playing in the preseason opener. The forward's absence is presumably due to rest, but the extent of the situation remains unclear. Kleber's next chance to suit up comes Friday against the Magic.

JaVale McGee - Out Wednesday McGee (ankle) will miss Wednesday's preseason game versus the Thunder, Nick Crain of SI.com reports.
Impact McGee has also missed practice due to his sprained ankle. While the Mavericks' regular season does not start until Oct. 19, the team will likely be careful with the veteran center in the preseason. As a result, McGee's minutes could be limited until the regular season rolls around.

Mavs briefs: Luka to sit The Mavericks will start their three-game exhibition season by resting Luka Doncic and a handful of other key players.

Luka Doncic - Slated to sit preseason opener Doncic (rest) isn't expected to take the floor during Wednesday's preseason opener versus the Thunder, Nick Crain of SI.com reports.
Impact Doncic is expected to sit some during the preseason to rest up after spending his summer playing for Slovenia in the Eurobasket tournament. It's unclear if or how much we will see him in preseason action, but, assuming he sits as expected, Doncic's next chance to take the floor would surface Friday against the Magic.
OCTOBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Davis Bertans - Won't suit up Wednesday Bertans (knee) won't take the floor in Wednesday's preseason game versus the Thunder.
Impact Bertans has missed two straight days of practice due to a sore knee and will skip the preseason opener as well. There's no indication that the injury is considered serious, so he could be back in action as soon as Friday when the Mavs host the Magic.

Impact The absence marks Bertans' second straight missed practice, making him unlikely to play in Wednesday's exhibition contest against the Thunder. The severity of the issue remains unclear, but he'll have two weeks to clear the injury before the Mavericks open the regular season against the Suns on Oct. 19.
