The Dallas Mavericks are looking to leverage their home-court advantage in Game 3 of the NBA Finals Wednesday.
If the Mavericks are looking for an opening, they may find one in the doubt surrounding Celtics big man Kristaps Porzingis, who is questionable for Game 3 due to a “rare” leg injury he suffered in Sunday’s Game 2.
Game 3 will tip off at 7:30 p.m. CST from the American Airlines Center.
The NBA announced a list of 12 game officials for the Finals on June 4. Individual assignments are announced on the morning of each game.
Who are the referees for Game 3?
- Crew chief: Marc Davis
- Referee: James Capers
- Umpire: Kevin Scott
- Alternate: Ben Taylor
Game 3 is Davis’ 13th NBA Finals game, Capers’ 12th and Scott’s second, according to the NBA.
In the 2024 playoffs where Davis served as crew chief, the home team won one-third of the time (33%).
During the regular season, the home team won more than half of the time (57%) when Davis served as chief.
