Mavericks vs Suns Preview and Injury Update: Last late game of the year

The Dallas Mavericks (25-54) stay on the road on Wednesday night, this time playing the Phoenix Suns (43-36). Dallas played Tuesday night against the Clippers and couldn’t rally back after getting down huge early in the contest. The Suns enter the game having lost last night to the Houston Rockets.
Here are the main things you need to know:

-
WHERE: Mortgage Matchup Center, Phoenix, Arizona

The injury report for the Mavericks reads like the end of a back trip playing Oregon Trail. Let’s start with who’s on the report but going to play: Moussa Cisse, Cooper Flagg, Tyler Smith, and John Poulakidas. Up next, since it’s so close to game time, we know who all is out: Daniel Gafford, Naji Marshall, Caleb Martin, Klay Thompson, PJ Washington, and Brandon Williams. That’s rough.

The Suns will be without Grayson Allen, Haywood Highsmith, and Mark Williams, all due to injury management
While the Suns are fairly locked in to the 7th spot in the West and the top of the play-in tournament bracket, a win tonight would lock them in heading into the final games of the regular season. After getting whupped by the Rockets last night, they might be playing for a bit of pride.
