Latest news and updates about the Mavericks
For the first time this season, the Milwaukee Bucks will get their first look at Copper Flagg, as they’ll travel to Big D to take on the Dallas Mavericks. It’s the second night of a home-road back-to-back, and Milwaukee is seeking to course-correct after falling short late to Houston yesterday afternoon. The Bucks have won […]
Let’s play a game of fill in the blank. “Don’t overreact. The season is still young. The Dallas Mavericks have only played (insert your number here) games so far—so there is still time to turn things around.” What is your number? Is it 5, 15, 30? I have always believed that by the time an […]
The Washington Wizards couldn’t complete a season sweep of the Dallas Mavericks, but last night’s loss was back to the competitive, feisty, entertaining brand of basketball they played for the first couple weeks of the 2025-26 season. When the teams played in the second game of the season, Washington departed Dallas with a win in […]
The Dallas Mavericks (3-7) pulled their heads above water and ended their four-game losing streak on Saturday with a 111-105 win at the Washington Wizards (1-9) at Capital One Arena. Dallas got out to yet another slow start, but quickly corrected course in the first quarter. They may have wobbled throughout the second and third […]
The Dallas Mavericks picked up a much needed 111-105 victory against the Washington Wizards Saturday night in a sad-off for the ages. Naji Marshall was the man of the moment with a game-leading 30 points, eight rebounds, two assists and two steals off the bench while CJ McCollum led the Wizards with 25 points. Both […]
The Washington Wizards lost to the Dallas Mavericks 111 to 105 on Saturday night at Capital One Arena. The loss knocks Washington down to a 1-9 start while the Mavericks improve to 3-7. Washington headed into the fourth quarter with an 86-82 lead, but they shot just 30.4 percent from the field and were out […]
While there were a lot of unfair criticisms lobbied his way, one of the more fair — and persistent — critiques of Luka Dončić has been his defense. Throughout his career, Luka’s defense has come under fire time and time again. While there is no expectation of him being a top defender given his offensive […]
The Dallas Mavericks (2-7) are still on the road, playing the Washington Wizards (1-8). Both teams are on the second night of a back-to-back, with DC losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers last night and the Mavericks getting blown out by the Memphis Grizzlies. You’ll remember the Mavericks already losing to the Wizards once back in […]

Holy cow the Dallas Mavericks are 2-7! Their worst start to a season since the 2018-19 season! Earlier this week we ran a two question poll which asked two direct questions. The first was centered around All-Star guard Kyrie Irving and whether Dallas fans thought he’d be back soon. This one was overwhelming in that […]
Tyrese Proctor, Cooper Flagg, Kon Knueppel and Sion James were all in action Friday night and there were some very positive results. Proctor had 17 points in 19 minutes against the Washington Wizards in Cleveland’s 148-114 laugher, hitting 5-6 and 2/3. In Dallas’s 118-104 loss to Memphis, Cooper Flagg had 12 points, six rebounds, two […]

If you thought that last game was bad, just wait until you see THIS one! It’s the Dallas Mavericks vs the Washington Wizards, round two, but this time both teams have lost four or five games in a row, and they’re both playing on a back-to-back. This is what Dr. James Naismith envisioned when he […]
Player Grades: Dallas Mavericks at Memphis Grizzlies (118–104 L) This is my fourth year on staff here at MMB and my first attempt at writing the Player Grades post — which probably says more about my timing than my judgment. You may be wondering why I picked this game — and that would make two […]
The Dallas Mavericks (2-7) put on their most putrid, pitiful, pathetic performance in Friday’s 118-104 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies (4-6) to open up NBA Cup play at the Fedex Forum. The defense was listless and the offense was hopeless in a stunning display of cowardly ineptitude for the team’s fourth straight loss. To call […]

It is the second night of a back-to-back after the Wizards faced the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight. Game Info When: 7 p.m. EST on Saturday, Nov. 8 Where: Capital One Arena in Washington DC How to Watch: Monumental […]
The Dallas Mavericks, entering the night winless in November and coming off three straight losses overall, took on the Memphis Grizzlies on the first night of a back-to-back, losing 118-104. The loss not only keeps Dallas in last place in the Western Conference, but also makes them 0-1 in NBA Cup Group play, with a […]
The Dallas Mavericks (2-6) are on the road against the Memphis Grizzlies (3-6). Dallas has lost three in a row and seem like they’re on the brink of something bad. The Grizzlies have lost four straight and are drama, drama, drama. Here’s the main things you need to know before the game kicks off. The […]
Dallas is heading to Memphis for a divisional matchup with the Grizzlies to open their NBA Cup group play. Even less than 10 games into the new year, this feels like a “loser leaves town” matchup. The Mavericks and Grizzlies are both reeling from the recent drama surrounding each team, compounded by a lot of […]
They say it is always darkest before the dawn, but no one tells you how dark it can get. Or how long the dark will last. Fitting that the darkness for the Dallas Mavericks hits as we entered daylight savings time, turned our clocks back, and settle into the darker days. If you’ve been watching […]
The Dallas Mavericks are 2-7 and currently sit at 15th place in the Western Conference. There are 15 teams in the Western Conference. For a team with title aspirations and a luxury tax bill, this start is a disaster of epic proportions. The team has already been ravaged by injuries, which, given the personnel, is […]
In his post-game presser following an embarrassing home loss to the Pelicans, Head Coach Jason Kidd claimed the Dallas Mavericks’ offensive struggles were just “missed open shots”—a cold streak that would soon thaw. But eight games into 2025–26, the numbers and the film agree on something harsher: the Mavericks aren’t just cold. They’re uncreative. Fast […]
The Dallas Mavericks (2-6) head to Memphis Friday night for their first NBA Cup game against the Grizzlies (3-6). It is a tale of two dysfunctional teams: the Grizzlies, who attempt to make peace with star Ja Morant, and the Mavericks, who attempt to make, well, a shot. One losing streak will have to end […]
Josh Giddey is silencing the critics. When the Oklahoma City Thunder decided to move on from the guard ahead of their championship season, few were surprised. Giddey was coming off the worst season of his career, which ended with a very public benching in the postseason. When the ball wasn’t in his hands, he looked completely lost, so much so that the Dallas Mavericks considered him a non-factor when looming behind the three-point line. To be sure, fans and analysts alike were not co...
It might be time to take your hand off the “panic” button and click “rebuild” instead. Coming into Wednesday, the 2-5 Mavericks desperately needed a game against the New Orleans Pelicans to get back on track. New Orleans was just 1-6 coming into the night with their sole victory being against the Charlotte Hornets the […]
