Kevin Porter Jr. - Questionable vs. PacersPorter is questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers due to lower back soreness.

ImpactPorter has yet to miss a game this season and also has yet to score in single digits. If he sits Friday, more usage could be in store for Jalen Green, while more minutes could go the way of Daishen Nix and Josh Christopher.

JaVale McGee - Likely to play FridayMcGee (neck) is probable to play in Friday's game versus the Nuggets.

ImpactMcGee 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.

Maxi Kleber - Out again FridayKleber (back) will remain sidelined for Friday's game versus the Nuggets.

ImpactKleber 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.

Facundo Campazzo - Dishes out five dimesCampazzo 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.

ImpactCampazzo 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.

Christian Wood - Comes close to double-doubleWood 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.

ImpactThe 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.

Tim Hardaway Jr. - Steps up in Doncic's absenceHardaway 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.

ImpactThe 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.
