Kyrie Irving would be out before warmups as he will miss his second game of the season. He had 30 points in a win over the Jazz on Saturday night. They will miss his stabilizing presence as he had a rock-solid performance in the fourth quarter for the Mavs.

Luka Doncic has completed warm-ups and will be available. He missed the previous five games because of the wrist strain he suffered against the Pelicans. They’re going to need a big game from him with so many players out.

Naji Marshall started Saturday but missed the second half with an upper respiratory infection.
