Good injury news for Mavs: Maxi Kleber, who has been out two months with a toe injury, has been upgraded to questionable vs. Pelicans tomorrow. So has Dereck Lively II (ankle), who has been out a week.
Bad news: Luka Doncic (ankle) will miss his second straight game. pic.twitter.com/iWL45tXVEL3:44 PM

Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Jonas Valanciunas’ professionalism and reliability are shining examples yet again. He’s in the midst of his finest season, making sacrifices for the betterment of the team.
The Pelicans should strongly consider signing him to another smart extension.
