They will need to bounce back quickly as they face a formidable opponent in the Pistons, who are riding a four-game win streak. Their latest victory was against the Boston Celtics, showcasing their current form and strength.
Injury Updates for the Mavericks
The injury report for the Mavericks is extensive as usual. Key players are currently sidelined:

- Anthony Davis – Questionable due to a calf issue
- Naji Marshall – Questionable due to illness
