While both teams are looking to pick up another victory in Friday night\u2019s matchup, both squads may be without multiple key players due to injuries.<\/p>\n

Nets Injury Report, Will Cam Thomas Play?<\/p>\n

For the Nets, they have two players listed on their injury report for Friday\u2019s game, including guard Cam Thomas.<\/p>\n

\"Brooklyn<\/p>\n

Brooklyn has ruled out Thomas as he remains sidelined due to a left hamstring strain that has kept him out since he suffered the injury against the Indiana Pacers<\/a> on November 5, though he has been cleared for on-court work and is expected to be re-evaluated in one week.<\/p>\n

With Thomas still sidelined, Egor Demin, Terance Mann and Tyrese Martin will likely continue to have increased roles.<\/p>\n

The Nets have also ruled out Haywood Highsmith as he remains sidelined to begin the season while recovering from right knee surgery.<\/p>\n

Mavericks Injury Report, Will Daniel Gafford, Klay Thompson Play?<\/p>\n

On the other side, the Mavericks have four players listed on their injury report, including center Daniel Gafford.<\/p>\n

Dallas has listed Gafford as doubtful due to right ankle injury management and he is expected to miss his third consecutive game.<\/p>\n

With Gafford unlikely to play against the Nets, Dwight Powell could be in line for a larger role off the bench behind Davis, especially with Dereck Lively II set to miss the remainder of the season after undergoing right foot surgery.<\/p>\n

\"Dallas<\/p>\n

The Mavericks have ruled out Kyrie Irving<\/a> and Dante Exum as they remain sidelined while recovering from injuries but the good news for Dallas is that Klay Thompson<\/a> is off the injury report and will play after missing Saturday\u2019s victory due to a knee injury.<\/p>\n
