Confirmed Lineup: Luka Doncic, Josh Green, Derrick Jones Jr., Grant Williams, Dereck Lively II
Kyrie Irving (thumb) — Out
Maxi Kleber (toe) — Out
Dwight Powell (eye) — Out
With Irving unavailable last game, the Mavs heavily depended on Doncic and Hardaway Jr. on the offensive end. The two attempted 40 field goals and combined for 51 points in the loss to the Suns. Irving is uncertain to play again, but regardless of his final status, the Mavs should have an easier matchup against the Hawks. Atlanta has the league's third-worst Net Rating (-9.5) in January and has lost three consecutive contests.
Confirmed Lineup: Trae Young, Dejounte Murray, Saddiq Bey, Jalen Johnson, Clint Capela
Trae Young (concussion protocol) — Available
Clint Capela (calf) — Available
Wesley Matthews (calf) — Available
Bruno Fernando (back) — Out
De'Andre Hunter (knee) — Injured
Vit Krejci (shoulder) — Injured
Mouhamed Gueye (back) — Injured
The Hawks were without Young in the previous outing, leading to a spot start for Bogdan Bogdanovic, who finished with 17 points in 33 minutes. If Young remains sidelined, Bogdanovic would likely start again and retain a heightened role. In games with Young unavailable this season, Bogdanovic has averaged 34.8 minutes per game, compared to the 27.4 minutes he's averaged with Young active. Regardless of whether Bogdanovic starts, he'll have an inviting matchup against the Mavs, who have allowed the fifth-most points per game (23.7) to shooting guards.

Immanuel Quickley (quad) — Out
Jakob Poeltl (ankle) — Out
Quickley will miss his first game since joining the Raptors after his injury held him out of Thursday's practice. In 12 games since being traded, he's averaging 16.7 points and 6.1 assists per game. Regardless, Toronto has lost eight of those 12 outings. Their 119.9 Defensive Rating over that span is the fifth-worst league-wide as they've gotten worse on that end of the floor without OG Anunoby.
Confirmed Lineup: Markelle Fultz, Jalen Suggs, Franz Wagner, Paolo Banchero, Wendell Carter Jr.

Confirmed Lineup: Tre Jones, Devin Vassell, Julian Champagnie, Jeremy Sochan, Victor Wembanyama
Victor Wembanyama — Not on injury report
Tre Jones (ankle) — Available
Sidy Cissoko (ankle) — Out
Charles Bassey (knee) — Out for season
Wembanyama could play both legs of the Spurs' back-to-back set as he avoided the injury report while he continues to recover from a sprained ankle. He has not played on consecutive days since November. However, Wembanyama could be playing without his primary point guard as Jones is uncertain to play. Even if Jones sits, the Spurs should be able to compete against a Blazers squad that has posted the league's worst Offensive Rating (104.7) in January.
