For the game, they will remain without one of their best players, as Klay Thompson has been ruled out. Thompson has missed each of the previous three games, so this will be his fourth straight out of the lineup.

The Mavericks will have to close out their latest back-to-back without another star player. Klay Thompson (left foot plantar fascia) is out for Monday night’s meeting with the Atlanta Hawks. Dallas has already played a few games without Luka Doncic, who is recovering from a wrist injury.
