Only one team in the NBA has played fewer road games than the Blazers, and zero teams have played fewer home games than the Mavs, who have taken the floor just 23 times in 52 games this season. Working in the Mavs’ favor tonight is Portland’s recent dry spell away from home — the club […]
No team in the NBA has more road wins than the Mavericks, and no team in the West has more home wins than the Golden State Warriors. Something is going to give tonight in Oakland, when Dallas travels West to take on the best team in basketball by win percentage. The Mavs will do so […]
With the news of Rajon Rondo’s orbital and nasal fractures looming, the Mavs’ depth will now be tested. Devin Harris, JJ Barea, and Raymond Felton all figure to see an increase in playing time while Rondo recovers from the nasty injury he sustained over the weekend. First up for Dallas: the Minnesota Timberwolves, who the […]
The best way to get over a loss is to win the next game, and fortunately for the Mavs they’re right back at it tonight in Houston, a chance for the team to move past last night’s defeat to the Grizzlies and grab what could be a signature win. With Dwight Howard’s status iffy, Dallas […]
It’s been a week and a day since the Mavs and Grizzlies have played each other, which in NBA years is both a lifetime and a blink of an eye. One week ago today, the Mavericks were reveling in their best victory of the season, a hard-fought, well-earned win in Memphis, the type of signature […]
This Mavs/Bulls matchup is one where an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, but the roles are reversed. In this instance, it’s the Dallas defense that won’t budge, and it’s the Bulls’ offense that’s unstoppable. Weird, huh?

Dallas is now just half a game out of first place in the Southwest Division and two games out of second place in the entire conference. Meanwhile, at 7-33, Minnesota has the second-worst record in the NBA. Put simply, this is a game the Mavericks should and must win, regardless of the fact that it’s […]
This is a big game. How big? If Dallas wins, the Mavs will be just half a game behind Memphis for first place in the Southwest Division. As it currently stands, Dallas is just two games behind Portland for second place in the West, meaning a win today and a Blazers loss against Sacramento tonight […]
It’s difficult to draw too many conclusions after a game in which three of the Mavs’ starters did not play. However, all five will take part in the action tonight for the second leg of a home-and-home with the Denver Nuggets. The Mavs will be looking to avoid falling victim to the home-and-home sweep, something […]
There’s no such thing as a “trap week” in this year’s Western Conference, but if there were such a thing this stretch of games could definitely qualify. After coming back last night in Sacramento for a thrilling win, Dallas will play in Denver tonight. The Nuggets might be 17-20 and in 11th place in the […]
