76ers vs Mavericks Injury Report

The Mavs will continue to be without Dwight Powell and Dereck Lively II. The Mavericks will also be without the newly acquired Anthony Davis.
76ers vs Mavericks Prediction
The Philadelphia 76ers are still banged up, but they’ve been injured so much that they’re finally learning how to play well without key guys. The 76ers have won four of their last six and those two losses were a one-possession game against the Nuggets and a game against the Celtics where they just collapsed in the fourth quarter. The Mavs have injuries of their own, and I still question the overall mental health of that locker room. The trade of Luka Doncic is still fresh, and I’m sure players and coaches are still feeling it, considering nobody knew it was coming. Anthony Davis also isn’t cleared yet. It may take some time for the Mavericks to really get going and put the transaction behind them. The 76ers are starting to find their footing. At home, I’ll lay the bucket.
