It was never going to be an easy stretch of basketball for the Dallas Mavericks (9-7). Even fully healthy this November trek was circled as several hurdles, one after the other. Now with recent injury setbacks to Maxi Kleber, and most importantly Luka Doncic, the Mavs are staring down the barrel of a three-game losing streak. They look to right the ship Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Clippers (10-7).
Kleber made his first appearance on the floor since an early exit against the Sacramento Kings on 0ctober 31. Doncic, who was listed as a game-time decision and eventual scratch, may make a return in Los Angeles Tuesday night.
