Mavericks vs Warriors preview, start time, TV schedule and injury report

The Dallas Mavericks (5-5) face the Golden State Warriors (8-2) in the late primetime game on TNT. This game marks Klay Thompson’s first return to the Bay Area after leaving the Warriors this summer. In addition to the second leg, this game is also the start of the NBA Cup group game. A win here puts the Mavericks back over .500 and gives them an early lead in the tournament. Here are all the details you need to know.

• WHO: Dallas Mavericks at Golden State Warriors
• WHAT: The start of a very busy schedule that ends in November
• WHERE: Chase Center, San Francisco, California
• WHEN: 9:00 Clock CST
• HOW: TNT and also playback with Kirk, Matthew and David

The injury report for Dallas is varied. Luka Doncic is listed as probable and Dereck Lively has the designation “available,” which I haven’t seen in a while. PJ Washington and Dante Exum are listed as out, which is no surprise. Maxi Kleber doesn’t appear in the report, so we may see him play tonight after he plays against the Denver Nuggets. The Warriors also list Andrew Wiggins as available after battling an illness yesterday.

In the meantime, if you’d like to read more, please check out the longer game preview here, which includes more details on the NBA Cup. There’s also a short article here about Luka Doncic’s frustration because he wanted the moment a little too much. Finally, there’s an article about Dallas’ three-point defense.
