The Dallas Mavericks (26-25) are coming off a disappointing loss Saturday night in Utah. Dallas welcomes the Detroit Pistons (13-38) to the American Airline Center on Monday night. While it’s important to remember that players don’t tank, Detroit doesn’t have much to play for beyond pride and player development. Dallas really needs to focus in order to get this win.
Luka Doncic, as of Sunday afternoon, is listed as questionable with a left ankle sprain he suffered in the opening minutes of the Phoenix Suns game. Christian Wood is listed out due to (a thumb) injury.
