The Dallas Mavericks visit the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center on Tuesday, February 24, with tipoff scheduled for 7:30 PM ET. Both teams enter the game managing multiple absences that could affect rotations and matchups.

Dallas will be without Kyrie Irving and Dereck Lively II due to surgery, while Cooper Flagg and Ryan Nembhard are listed as doubtful. Daniel Gafford is questionable with a right ankle injury, and Caleb Martin is probable following a left ankle sprain. Miles Kelly and Moussa Cisse are two-way players likely to provide depth if active.

Brooklyn will be without its G League assignments, including Tyson Etienne, E.J. Liddell, Chaney Johnson, Josh Minott, and Ben Saraf.

Dallas enters the matchup with a 19-36 record, coming off a 134-130 win at Indiana and a 122-111 loss to Minnesota.

Brooklyn is struggling at 15-40, including losses in their last two games, 115-104 at Atlanta and 105-86 at Oklahoma City.
