Monday night at the American Airlines Centre, our favourite Dallas Mavericks will play the Memphis Grizzlies. We don’t yet know exactly which players will suit up for the 7:00 PM game, but we do know for sure that Dante Exum will be out with a wrist injury and Luka Doncic is doubtful to play because of a recent calf injury.
This game, a lot of young guards should be on the court in their place. This club often has a deep backcourt, so here are three things to be aware of in this preseason matchup.
It sounds like an exciting preseason matchup! Here’s a concise summary of the key points to watch for:
### Key Points to Watch in the Preseason Game
1. **Klay Thompson’s Debut**: As he potentially makes his first appearance in a Mavericks uniform, fans will be eager to see if he can replicate the success of previous players who wore number 31. His legendary status adds an intriguing layer to this debut.
2. **Brandon Williams’ Performance**: With a strong preseason showing for the Magic last year, Williams needs to continue that momentum to secure his place on the Mavericks’ roster. His shooting ability and scoring prowess will be under scrutiny.
3. **Jaden Hardy’s Opportunity**: With several key players sidelined, Hardy has a prime chance to prove himself as a crucial bench player. His performance in this game could be pivotal as he approaches Restricted Free Agency next year.
