THE STORY: The Mavs are in a bad way these days, and there’s no guarantee they fix it tonight against the Trail Blazers. The Blazers are doing about as well as the Mavs this season, if not better, and...wait. Dirk will be out tonight. Dennis Smith Jr. is doubtful. And Luka Doncic is listed as questionable after suffering an injury against the Warriors last night, but per Rick Carlisle, will likely play.
