Dirk Nowitzki can not help Dallas in the next matches

The flagship of the Texans Dallas Mavericks, Dirk Nowitzki, the team will be out "indefinitely", as he announced himself German.

While yesterday we mentioned that Dallas Mavericks are playing with Warriors and Nuggets the last two places of playoffs in the West (to 11-12 games of regular season finale, Portland Trail Blazers have extremely complicated), today we have to say that Dirk Nowitzki, the MVP of last season, will miss, for starters, the two parties will face the Dallas Mavericks with their direct opponents.

This is a big setback for the Mavs, who have won today but the Clippers do not believe that they can rise to Nuggets and Warriors. To lose these two games, the Mavericks still would not miss the playoff place as Denver and Golden State must face each other this week, but there could be a three-way tie if Denver wins the Golden State and they win the game that have pending (have played one less than the other two).

So Dallas pass options to resist downward from its star, who will be around two weeks. In these two weeks, Dallas will face the Warriors twice (games the Golden State should make the most), one against Denver, one against the Lakers in Los Angeles and one in Phoenix.
