Two players entered the game as "questionable," Jrue Holiday for the Celtics and Anthony Davis for the Mavericks. Anthony Davis hasn't played since suffering an abdominal strain against the Philadelphia 76ers,

Holiday was sidelined with the same injury in late December but had not shown new signs of discomfort until today. In fact, his consistent playing time indicated he was fully recovered. However, his recent performances have been well below his All-Star standards, averaging just 6.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists over the past five games.
