The injury bug might have latched on to the Mavericks, but the team is certainly unphased by the same. They won their fourth game in a row as they beat the Wizards 109-87.

The Mavericks will miss multiple players because of injuries. Shooter JJ Reddick is recovering from a heel injury, while guard Tyrell Terry is out due to personal reasons. Forward Maxi Kleber is sidelined due to a leg injury while backup center Willie Cauley-Stein is out due to medical protocols.

Guard Josh Richardson and center Kristaps Porzingis are both doubtful as they are recovering from a hamstring and wrist injury, respectively.

The Mavs face a Jazz side that has looked unstoppable this season. Stopping Utah will require some doing, especially from guards Tim Hardaway Jr. and Luka Doncic.
