Cooper Flagg and P.J. Washington led the Mavericks with 21 points apiece as Dallas snapped a three-game losing streak.

The LA Clippers and Dallas Mavericks meet in NBA Cup group play Friday at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.

The Mavericks have lost 6 of the last 7 games, but they're going up against a team that's just as hapless as they.

Portland: The Blazers have not released an injury report, but Scoot Henderson (left hamstring tear), Damian Lillard (left Achilles tendon), Matisse Thybulle (left thumb surgery) and Blake Wesley (right foot fracture) will not play.

The Dallas Mavericks fired general manager Nico Harrison on Tuesday after a tumultuous start to the season and growing fan backlash over the Luka Doncic trade.

Shortly before halftime in the Dallas Mavericks ’ matchup with the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday, Mavs forward PJ Washington exited the floor and disappeared into the Dallas locker room.

The Blazers are already playing without a pair of point guards — Scoot Henderson and Blake Wesley — who have played a combined six games this season. Henderson has been sidelined all season with a left hamstring injury, and Wesley has missed the last six games with a fracture in his right foot.

Rival teams are bracing for the Mavericks to explore an Anthony Davis trade before the Feb. 5 deadline, according to Marc Stein of The Stein Line. Dallas hasn’t signaled anything publicly, but the expectation around the league is that Davis will be made available.
