Well, now there are rumors that KP and possibly even Kleber might play.
But, if the Mavs are really without five (5!) of their top 9 players and somehow pull a win out of the hat against ANY pro team, I'm going to be really excited.

I watched 4th quarters of Pels last two games and they played like crap. I hope that doesn't change against Mavs
If KP and Maxi both plays, alongside with Willie and B O B A N, it will be another block fest. This is one of the matchups that our current lack of depth at the wings should hurt less.

Did you see that video of him draining threes in practice? If he can do that in the game, the only other thing he really needs to do is provide a bit of help defense at times.
On another note, Zion is just a wrecking ball. I like him a lot, but when you have guys with the length of WCS and KP, you can block his shots without really fouling him.

Wasnt he only doing 3 on 3 against the rookies a couple days ago?
My concern as well. Feels like we are seeing at least two ACL or achilles injuries every week right now. The condensed schedule and a rushed early start of the season is leading to more injuries.
No need to be desperate and rush KPs return. That said. I think even in early december/late november they expected him to return in january. Meaning that he could be right on schedule.
