With just nine games left in the regular season, the Golden State Warriors will square off against the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday night in a key game for playoff positioning.
Currently, the 37-36 Warriors are sixth in the West standings with Dallas nestled in seventh at 36-36. The meeting of last season's Western Conference finalists comes with both teams trying to stay out of the play-in tournament while also being at risk of missing the playoffs altogether.
For the 17th straight game, Golden State will be without star forward Andrew Wiggins who has been out dealing with a personal matter. Doncic has been out with a left thigh strain that required an MRI. The test didn't show significant damage, but Doncic still missed two weeks after limping through the last game before he was sidelined.
Doncic and Irving have played together in nine of 17 games since Irving was acquired from Brooklyn before the trading deadline. Dallas is 3-6 in those games.
