Mavericks-Wizards Preview

The Washington Wizards pulled off an unlikely win last time out with most of their major frontcourt players missing.

It's unclear if the Wizards will face exactly the same situation Sunday night, but they definitely won't have leading rebounder Marcin Gortat for their attempt to snap a lengthy skid against the visiting Dallas Mavericks.

Gortat is slated to miss at least one more game because of a family emergency in Poland. The Wizards (8-9) were also forced to play without the injured Nene (calf), Kris Humphries (ankle) and Drew Gooden (calf) on Friday against Phoenix.
