Dallas Mavericks Injury Report
Dallas nearly has a clean bill of health coming into this game as the only absentee for Mark Cuban's franchise is Sterling Brown. He has a sore left foot, but his absence shouldn't necessarily affect the Mavericks' rotation for this game.
Golden State Warriors Injury Report
The big news for the Warriors is the status of superstar Klay Thompson who has been listed as questionable for this game due to soreness in his left knee, the same knee he tore his ACL during the 2019 NBA Finals. Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala are also absent for the Warriors due to back and hip injuries respectively. James Wiseman is the only other absentee because of a knee injury.
