The Dallas Mavericks are getting ready for their most important game of the regular season, but it remains uncertain whether their superstar duo will be able to play. On Tuesday's injury report, the Mavericks listed Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, and Markieff Morris as questionable to play Wednesday night against the Golden State Warriors. Irving's availability is especially in doubt after suffering a setback with his right big toe pain, which has persisted since March 8 and forced him to miss three games earlier this month. Doncic has missed the previous five games with a left thigh strain, leaving the Mavericks struggling to win matches.
The Warriors are fighting to defend their sixth place and win two straight road games for the first time this season. Meanwhile, the Mavericks aim to close the gap on their visitors and boost their home-court advantage in round one. Doncic is expected to return to the Mavericks' lineup since the team hopes the Slovenian All-Star could come back during the upcoming homestand. Though the Mavericks have been sliding in the past month and have an 8-29 on the road record, they have dominated the Warriors recently, winning ten of the past thirteen meetings, including four straight played in Dallas.
