SAN FRANCISCO — The Dallas Mavericks enter Tuesday’s matchup against the Golden State Warriors with new developments on the injury front. Building positive momentum will be vital for a team that’s fallen to 5-5 through 10 games.

Dereck Lively II has been upgraded to questionable after missing the Mavericks’ previous four games due to a right shoulder sprain. He participated in Monday’s practice at Chase Center before telling reporters he had a “good practice.”
