As the Dallas Mavericks prepare for their matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks, questions remain about player availability. Following a 30-point loss to the Timberwolves, Dallas has struggled to find consistency this season and currently sits outside playoff contention after reaching the play-in last year.

The Golden State Warriors have been trying and failing to weather the storm with Stephen Curry sidelined due to injury, falling to four games below .500 with a recent loss vs the San Antonio Spurs.

With several key rotation players sidelined, the outlook is increasingly concerning for the Raptors, who are only a few games away from slipping out of the No. 6 seed.
