So the important thing is for everyone to stay healthy. It’s just to get the players some reps without consequence and keep them in shape. I don’t have to tell you this game doesn’t matter at all. Here are three things to watch for when the game starts: Stay healthy Dallas recently waived four camp invites, so some key rotation players will have to play real minutes. There’s also no telling how long we’ll see the starters. It’s doubtful we’ll see new Maverick Facu Campazzo but you never know. Mike Conley and Jordan Clarkson remain, though they’re probably not long for the roster themselves. Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell are gone, as well as key rotation pieces Royce O’Neale and Bojan Bogdanovic.

The Dallas Mavericks will face off against the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City on Friday night.
