The Mavericks will need PJ Washington to play well alongside Klay Thompson amid Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving's injury absences.

The Mavericks are currently 20-15 as they have dropped to the seventh seed in the Western Conference. It will be on Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson to keep the team afloat until Doncic's return and give them a shot at making a deep playoff run this season.
