Will Anthony Davis or Jalen Brunson play in Mavericks-Knicks?

The Dallas Mavericks are playing on the second night of a back-to-back after beating the Brooklyn Nets on Monday. For Tuesday's game, they head six miles north to Madison Square Garden to take on the New York Knicks. Because of the back-to-back, availability could be a concern again for the Mavs.

Dallas has already ruled out Anthony Davis (left adductor strain), Dante Exum (left hand fracture), Daniel Gafford (right MCL sprain), Kyrie Irving (left ACL tear), Dereck Lively II (right ankle stress fracture), Caleb Martin (right hip strain), and Olivier-Maxence Prosper (right wrist surgery).

Davis played 26 minutes on Monday against the Nets, but he said he wouldn't play against the Knicks as they manage his return from injury. The plan is for him to play again on Thursday against the Magic.

P.J. Washington (left ankle sprain) and Brandon Williams (lower back tightness) are questionable to play. Washington rolled his ankle on Monday after going to contest a shot, but still finished the rest of the game. Expect Kessler Edwards to use the last game of his eligibility tonight.

The Knicks will be without Jalen Brunson (right ankle sprain), Ariel Hukporti (left meniscus surgery), and Miles McBride (left groin strain), while Pacome Dadiet (G-League assignment), Kevin McCullar Jr. (Two-Way), and Mitchell Robinson (left ankle surgery recovery) are questionable to play.
