Stickied...
Defense wins draft lotteries!
Fortune favours the bold, so it ducked Nico Harrison.

Luka is not playing in this game. Lakers are probably sitting out AR as well. Otherwise would be a good chance to really see how good Mavs could be. We'll just have to wait until the season start i guess.

I figured about Luka given he played last night. Not much to go in tonight since their 3 best players are out.

I am looking forward to seeing how our bigs do against Ayton.

Are you sure? I haven't see any reporting.
I'd be surprised and disappointed if Lakers sit Luka and AR out, they have a significant following in Vegas because it's close, they'd be letting their fanbase down.

Ya, Luka may be playing. He was quoted last night on playing in Dallas, making it seem he's starting tonight. Let's hope!

Yeah, Lakers said he'll play in only 2 games to slowly ramp up and they decided to play vs Suns and then skip Mavs because it's mostly b2b. AR and Smart might also be out because there is basically no point in them playing this. Ayton i think might be questionable as well since he played every game so far.

Basically big showdown will be Flagg vs Bronny :D

Eh yeah... But it's NBA's fault. They'll milk this matchup to the end of the world, even in preseason because it's also on ESPN :banghead:

Kind of funny that they made this huge deal about signing Ayton and yet they (Luka and Labron) have barely worked with him.

Yeah i do agree with that. But one is injured and will miss regular season time and the other had a busy summer. Plus they had some other minor injuries on the team while Mavs have also been weirdly healthy so far.

I freaking love this. Hopefully Luka and AR play. Last night they started Luka/AR/Smart/LaRavia/Ayton.

We're making Gabe Vincent look like Oscar Robinson.

I told you guys... Perimeter will be a huge problem with this roster.

I can understand to make experiment but this lineup can't play basketball and it's just a waste of time.
