Coach Rick Carlisle said Haywood still has some swelling after rolling his ankle on the opening possession in the loss at Oklahoma City, but hoped the center would be back soon. Wright missed his third consecutive game after a concussion.
Carlisle said Haywood will travel with the team for the three games in three nights. Wright will not make that trip.
Haywood became the Mavs starter after Chandler left the Mavericks in free agency during the offseason.
In a short ceremony before the game, Chandler became the last player from the Mavericks' 2010-11 team to get his NBA championship ring.
Chandler got a $56 million, four-year contract with the Knicks in a sign-and-trade that was part of a three-team deal at the start of training camp.
A video of Chandler's highlights from last season was shown before the 7-foot-1 center got a nice ovation from Mavericks fans. Carlisle and owner Mark Cuban presented him his ring.
NOTES: The Knicks played the second of four consecutive road games, and four of six away from Madison Square Garden. They are at San Antonio on Wednesday night. ... Mavericks guard Vince Carter went 1 for 8 for three points. He made a 3-pointer for the first Dallas basket, and didn't make another shot.
