Dallas is 5-5 on the year and lost three of the past four games. The Mavericks have lost two straight to the Suns (14-113) and Nuggets (122-120). This is only the fourth road game for Dallas who is 1-2 away from home. The Mavericks will be without two starters Derek Lively and P.J. Washington ahead of this meeting.

It’s a quiet night Thursday in the Association, as there’s just one game on the card with the Dallas Mavericks visiting the Jazz. Dallas is coming off a disappointing 130-127 loss to the Warriors despite having a seven-point lead during the game’s final four minutes.
