Cooper Flagg has been looking better and better every game, and this will be his first look at Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels, who’ve led Minnesota to an 8-5 record so far this season.

The Dallas Mavericks will rest Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II for Monday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Mavericks’ top two centers were ruled out for Dallas’ second game in as many days because of injury management for their respective ailments.

The Dallas Mavericks face the Minnesota Timberwolves on the second night of a back-to-back on Monday, with multiple injury issues.

On Monday, as Duchene entered his second month of recovery, the Dallas Stars officially placed him on long-term injured reserve with an ongoing upper-body injury. The hit occurred while he was rushing up ice through the neutral zone. Duchene briefly had his head down to receive a pass and was caught by former Ottawa 67’s captain Jake Middleton.

In the third quarter, when the Bears converted a screen to Luther Burden III on third and long, Turner was a half-second away from jumping the pass and perhaps going Andrew Van Ginkel mode on a pick-six.
