A rematch of the Western Conference finals plays out in Dallas Tuesday night, when the Mavericks play host to the Denver Nuggets at American Airlines Center.
Dallas Mavericks second-year star center Dereck Lively II will miss the next 2-3 months after sustaining a small fracture in his foot, according to a report from ESPN's Shams Charania.
Without their stars and with injuries piling up, the Dallas Mavericks are in the middle of a challenging section of their schedule that could define their season.
