In their last meeting, the Spurs' Victor Wembanyama stole the show with 29 points and 11 rebounds, while the Mavs' Cooper Flagg continued his impressive streak with his fourth consecutive 30-point game. Despite Flagg's heroics, the Mavs fell 135-123, marking their first game since trading 10-time All-Star Anthony Davis, who had been sidelined with a left hand injury. But here's where it gets controversial: Was trading Davis the right move for the Mavs, or has it left them vulnerable in this critical stretch of the season? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
As the rivalry heats up, both teams are dealing with key injuries. The Mavs are without Dereck Lively II (foot), Kyrie Irving (knee), and Brandon Williams (lower leg), while Tyus Jones, AJ Johnson, Marvin Bagley III, and Khris Middleton are all day-to-day after recent trades. The Spurs, meanwhile, are monitoring De'Aaron Fox (back), Luke Kornet (ankle), and Jeremy Sochan (quad), among others. Bold prediction: Could these injuries swing the game in favor of the underdog?
Looking ahead, the Mavs have a tough schedule coming up, including matchups against the Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Indiana Pacers.
