The Dallas Mavericks play for the first time in a row on Sunday against the Orlando Magic, who are in the middle of a five-game road trip. Both teams are desperate for a win, as Dallas doesn't want to lose consecutive games for the first time this season and Orlando is still hoping for its first win of this road trip. However, both teams will have to do without some key players.

There has been no change for the Mavericks on their injury report as Maxi Kleber will be out with his right hamstring injury and Dante Exum will be out for a few months due to right wrist surgery.

Kleber was seen training on the pitch this weekend, so he could return soon. He has struggled with various injuries over the past few years and Dallas would like to get him back sooner rather than later.

Orlando will be without budding superstar Paolo Banchero, who tore an oblique muscle last week and will be out for a few weeks. On Monday he scored the first 50-point game of the young NBA season against the Indiana Pacers.

Goga Bitadze is questionable with a strained foot tendon, while Wendell Carter Jr. is dealing with knee tendonitis and is also questionable. Carter had been their starting player since they acquired him in the Nikola Vucevic trade, but he missed their last game against the Cavaliers.

Dallas and Orlando tip shortly after 6:30 p.m. CST at the American Airlines Center.
