Giannis, Joel Embiid, Jayson Tatum, Nikola Jokic. One of them isn’t making first team All-NBA. – 11:48 AM

Jason Kidd said Maxi Kleber will miss today’s game vs. Bucks with right ankle soreness.
Saw Kleber on an exercise bike by the court during pregame warm-ups, FWIW, so likely nothing too debilitating. – 11:43 AM

Dallas Mavericks PR @MavsPR
Sterling Brown (health & safety protocols), Trey Burke (not with team), Tim Hardaway Jr. (left foot surgery), Maxi Kleber (right ankle soreness) and Theo Pinson (right fifth finger fracture) will all miss today’s game in Milwaukee. – 11:34 AM
Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan
Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer starts his pregame talk with reporters lauding Mavs’ defense: “It looks and feels like there’s a commitment on defense, the togetherness, the activity”
Jason Kidd would politely disagree after Mavs allowed season-worst 135 points last time out. – 11:20 AM
Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks
Wake up. ☕️

The #Bucks injury report is a bit cleaner for today’s matinee against the #Mavs.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is probable with his right knee soreness. – 10:26 AM

Will Mavs make enough 3ptrs today vs MIL team that 3x in 4 yrs has allowed most 3ptrs in @NBA? And how do Mavs fix their defense vs Giannis (BTB 40-10-6 games), & a deep MIL team that has a legit Big 3, and 3 bench guys (Allen, Portis Pat C) who all avg 10? Fascinating theater. – 9:33 AM
Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks
Will the Bucks have more or less than 48 rebounds today?

Jason Walker @JasonWalkerNBA
Trae Young moves past LeBron James in Estimated Wins, and past Giannis in Offensive EPM. He is definitely #AllNBA. pic.twitter.com/ImQkOicmHD9:17 AM

Off the top of my head, last time Mavs played a Noon game was on Easter 08 vs SA. I remember this because my washing machine hose broke the night before & my house flooded. No such calamities leading into today at MIL @peasradio pre @ 11:30 Tip w/Brad & Me @ 12:10 @theeagledallas9:02 AM
