POR Trail Blazers - DAL Mavericks

Not great news for the Mavs players tonight, as Luka is likely not playing due to Irving not being in top form. Teammate Naji Marshall, who has been a key player in the series, will also not play. Additionally, Lively is also out, so his energy will be missed as it is a back-to-back game for the Mavs. Even with Klay still not playing, the absence of Marshall may have an impact. Blazers are a young team with potential, already defeating the Clippers, Rockets, and Wolves a couple of times, and also winning against the Kings this season. They currently sit at 8-12, which is not bad for a developing team in the West. It's worth noting that they have a positive home record (5-4) and have won the last 4 games. The odds are worth considering, as although the Mavs have shown good character this season, I believe their rotation may be too imbalanced tonight, which could cost them.
