Once again, the Mavs will face lineup challenges after Anthony Davis’s injury, testing their depth against a strong Denver defense.

DALLAS — Watch the Dallas Mavericks vs. Denver Nuggets at 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 14, on KFAA. Here’s a breakdown on how to tune in on KFAA — and guarantee you get the clearest signal possible of the broadcast.

The Dallas Mavericks (15-25) are back home Wednesday night facing a familiar Western Conference test and new questions about their lineup.

Dallas hosts the Denver Nuggets at American Airlines Center, a matchup that comes one day after news that Anthony Davis will miss at least six weeks with a hand injury. His absence reshapes the Mavs’ rotation and adds another test of depth and adaptability without Davis.

It will be the second absence of at least a month this season for Davis, who missed 15 of the 16 games in November with a calf strain. He has also been sidelined by a groin injury and has now missed half of the Mavericks’ 40 games this season.

Dallas will be forced to lean more heavily on their remaining frontcourt options while maintaining offensive balance against one of the league’s most disciplined defenses.

While rookie No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg has shown plenty of promise, Dallas is an also-ran in the Western Conference playoff race. The Mavs are well on their way to missing the postseason for the second consecutive year since reaching the 2024 NBA Finals.

Tipoff is set for 8:30 p.m.
