What happened
Kyrie Irving was ruled out Monday for left knee injury management, and Max Christie later left with a hip injury that kept him from returning.
With Irving unavailable, Dusty May opened with a no-guard lineup and Caleb Martin, but Dallas still fell 115-100 after another slow offensive night.
LINEUP CONTEXT
Dallas may need another short-handed rotation plan Wednesday if Irving and Christie remain unavailable, because the guard and wing mix already changed Monday.
