The game is scheduled for Kristaps Porziņģis and the Dallas Mavericks at the National Basketball Association (NBA) next night. 5:00 Latvian time will meet with Phoenix “Dog”. Washington’s Wizards will also play the match. Charlotte’s “Hornets” will compete at 2:00, but Dāvis Bertāns’ participation in this fight is very questionable due to injury.
Porziņģis suffered from a back injury in the first matches, but after the release of five games, Liepāja returned with a very good performance. Kristaps has accumulated 17.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.6 blocks this season, improving his individual performance with his recent performance. Meanwhile, in a previous duel against the Denver Nuggets, in which the Mavericks won, Luka Dončič was injured. Apart from Dončič, Max Kleber, who has not been playing since October 31 due to the strain on his body, will not be able to take part in the fight against the Dog.
Luka Dončić (left knee and left ankle sprains) and Maxi Kleber (left oblique strain) will both miss tomorrow night’s game in Phoenix.

Slovenia injured the ankle of his left leg, but now sources have indicated that the injury to the star of the Dallas unit is not too serious, but the injury will also cause the superstar of the Dallas unit to miss the upcoming match. Dončič, a two-time NBA star player, scores an average of 24.9 points this season, wins 8.3 rebounds, returns 7.9 assists and intercepts 1.3 rebounds.
Dončičs, of course, is the best basketball player in the Mavericks, but statistically the second most successful player is Porziņģis. They are followed by Jane Branson with an average of 15.1 points in the match, who usually starts due from the reserve bench, but in Donchic’s absence his role could increase even more. The fourth player to score more than 10 points on average in the Mavericks is Tim Hardave, who has managed to score 14.5 points.
The Mavericks are currently ranked third in the Western Conference with 13 games to win, but with one success, the Dog ranks higher. The most successful in the Phoenix team is the usual leader Devin Bucker, who has scored an average of 22.9 points this season, as well as six rebounds and 5.5 assists. Meanwhile, center Deander Eaton is helping with 15.3 points and 11.4 balls under the baskets, while experienced match manager Chris Paul has averaged 14.7 points and 10.2 assists.
