Doubtful vs. Pelicans
- Reggie Bullock (quadriceps)
Dallas is known for their small-ball lineups, so possibly playing without Reggie Bullock will be a blow. Bullock is 5th on the team in 3-point shooting (37.8%). He usually draws the assignment of the opposition's best wing player, so he is a 2-way player. Dallas lists him as doubtful with a quadriceps injury.
