The Dallas Mavericks (9-6) have been without superstar Luka Doncic for the past two games, but hope to have him back on Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers (9-7). Both teams come into the matchup having each lost their last two games, and neither side has lost three consecutive games this season.
