Game 26 Preview: Mavs vs. Hawks
This is the redemption game for the awful, horrible, depressing loss that the Mavs experienced in Atlanta early this season when they were up by up by 26 and lost by 7. Mavs and Hawks tipoff tonight at 7:30 pm CT at the American Airlines Center as the Mavs go for their 11th straight home victory. For the first time all season, Dirk Nowitzki is not listed as OUT on the injury report and has been updated to Questionable.

Luka for All-Star: #LukaAllStar2019
Luka Doncic, age 19, just 23 games into his NBA career, has already proved to be the best player on his team and one of the most clutch players in the league.

Game 25 Preview: Mavs vs Magic

Jalen Brunson has shown that he can step up when needed. He has shown that stays ready.
Game 24 Preview: Mavs vs Rockets
The Dallas Mavericks return to the AAC tonight for an early 5pm tipoff against the rival Houston Rockets. The Mavericks smoked the Rockets by 20 points just a few weeks ago in front of the Houston crowd. Reigning MVP James Harden and company will be looking for revenge, this time with running mate Chris Paul active for the matchup.

After being selected with the 9th pick of the 2017 NBA Draft, Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr. spent his first season in Dallas as the centerpiece of a franchise with little else to be excited about.

The Mavericks have been one of the most exciting teams in the NBA to watch this season. We have the WonderBoy basketball prodigy producing magic almost every night and second year menace Dennis Smith Jr growing into a defensive force and playmaker.
