The Dallas Mavericks and Denver Nuggets are set to face off in a Western Conference showdown on Sunday afternoon. Both teams have released their injury reports for this game, and superstar guard Luka Doncic is being listed as questionable by the Mavericks with left hamstring soreness.

Doncic has missed one game with this injury, but could return to the lineup for this matchup against Denver. Every game is important for Dallas between now and the end of the regular season, as they are trying to optimize their position in the Western Conference standings.

The Mavericks enter this game as the 8th seed in the Western Conference standings, 2.5 games up on the 9th seed Golden State Warriors, and one game back of the 6th seed Phoenix Suns. With two remaining games against Golden State, the Mavericks cannot get complacent, as they could certainly fall into the 9th/10th side of the play-in tournament bracket.

This game against Denver will be a big test for the Mavericks, as the Nuggets have been playing some of the best basketball in the entire NBA. Regaining their spot atop the Western Conference, the Nuggets are looking to stay there, but the Oklahoma City Thunder have refused to give it up entirely.

Both Dallas and Denver have a lot to play for, which should make this game even more exciting.
