Mavericks vs 76ers Injury Report

The Mavs will be without Dereck Lively II, Olivier-Maxence Prosper, Kai Jones, Daniel Gafford, Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis, Jaden Hardy, and PJ Washington. Dante Exum and Caleb Martin are questionable.

The 76ers will be without Kyle Lowry, Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, Joel Embiid, Eric Gordon, and Jared McCain.

Mavericks vs 76ers Prediction

This is a hilarious matchup, as both the 76ers and Mavericks are free-falling and dealing with endless injuries. It’s so bad that it’s reported the Mavs could soon be forced to forfeit games due to a lack of available players. The 76ers have punted on the season weeks ago and have a laundry list of injuries themselves. Knowing all of this, I’m not sure how either team is a big favorite.

Neither team is fielding an NBA roster these days, so seeing this line is a head scratcher. I wouldn’t get involved in this game personally, but if forced to pick, I’d grab the points with the 76ers on the road. There’s no way the Mavs should be laying this number regardless of opponent.
