FWIW, the Mavs are still an 8.5 favorite tonight at home vs. Chicago.
Assuming Dallas wins tonight, will they sit Kyrie and company again on Sunday!???
Would Luka play by himself?
The Mavs-Spurs game tips off at the same time (3:30) as the OKC-MEM game.
Fascinating situation – 2:44 PM

Will be Kyrie and company be in street clothes on the sideline cheering for Luka in the most important game of the team’s season – knowing they could be out there helping him??!!

Dallas has ruled out Kyrie, Hardaway, Kleber, Wood & Josh Green tonight vs #Bulls. Doncic is probable. Mavs have conflicting motivation. They are half-game behind OKC for final play-in spot. Also owe NYK a top-10 protected pick, and Bulls-Mavs tied for 10th lottery seed. – 1:07 PM

Kyrie looked so excited after that last game to get the win and keep the playoff hopes alive. It’s gotta be a hard thing for a competitor to be told we’re throwing in the white towel. – 12:56 PM

Kyrie Irving, Tim Hardaway Jr, Maxi Kleber, Josh Green and Christian Wood are all out tonight vs the Bulls.
Luka is probable.
Dallas loses their 1st round pick to the Knicks if they finish 11-30.
Mavs may be waving the white flag and conceding the play-in spot to OKC. – 12:45 PM

Kyrie Irving, Josh Green, Christian Wood, Maxi Kleber and Tim Hardaway will be out for tonight’s Bulls game, the Mavs announced. Luka Doncic is probable.
Dallas needs two wins and an OKC loss Sunday to get to 10th in the West and make the play-in. – 12:37 PM

After Kyrie’s 19-point 4Q last night, was curious of any differences in his 4Q numbers between here & Brooklyn. He leads the NBA in pts/4Q at 9.5, with better efficiency here:
BKN: 38 gms
9.5 pts/50.2% FG/35.7% 3pt/90.3% FT
DAL: 20 gms
9.5 pts/52.9% FG/39.6% 3pt/100% FT (43/43) – 7:40 PM

Mavs list Doncic and Irving as “Probable” against the Bulls. Bulls may rest several players as they prepare for next week’s play in game, on the road in Toronto or Atlanta. The only local coverage for the play in tournament is on the radio. @670TheScore or @WBBMNewsradio . – 6:51 PM
