Blazers-Mavs start time moved up due to winter storm in Dallas

The Dallas Mavericks moved their start time for Thursday’s home game against the Portland Trail Blazers up an hour to 6:30 PM CT due to “incidental weather.”

The Dallas area is under a winter storm warning Thursday that includes a mix of sleet and snow throughout the day, according to The Weather Channel. Light to moderate snow is forecast after 7pm local time.

The Mavericks are coming off a 118-97 home win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday while playing without Luka Doncic (calf) and Kyrie Irving (back).

The Trail Blazers have lost three of their last five games, but are coming off a 119-100 win at New Orleans on Wednesday.
