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

On By Littum

The Dallas Mavericks (5-5) face off against Golden State Warriors (8-2) in the late primetime game on TNT. This game is Klay Thompson’s first back in the Bay Area after leaving the Warriors this summer. On top of the return, this game also kicks off the NBA Cup group stage. A win here puts the Mavericks back above .500 and gives them an early leg up 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 road-heavy schedule to close November
  • WHERE: Chase Center, San Francisco, CA
  • WHEN: 9:00 pm CST
  • HOW: TNT and also Playback with Kirk, Matthew and David

The injury report is mixed for Dallas. Luka Doncic is listed as probable and Dereck Lively has the “available” designation, which is someone I haven’t seen in a while. PJ Washington and Dante Exum are listed as out, which isn’t a surprise. Maxi Kleber does not appear in the report, so we may see him play tonight after sitting against the Denver Nuggets. On the Warriors side, Andrew Wiggins is also listed as “available” after dealing with an illness yesterday.

If you’re looking for more reading in the meantime, consider the longer game preview here, which has some more details on the NBA Cup. There’s also a short piece here about the frustration with Luka Doncic wanting the moment a little too much. Finally, there is an article on Dallas’ three-point defense.

As you can tell below, you can join me and some other Mavs Moneyball guys in a room on Playback (embedded below) during the game (though I might not be able to start it until halftime). Also consider joining Josh and I on Pod Maverick live after the match on YouTubewe were supposed to start around 23.45. Thanks so much for spending time with us here at Mavs Moneyball. Let’s Go Mavs!
