Smart Game Analysis
San Antonio Spurs has a 85% chance of winning the game
The Spurs, fresh off a dominant road victory against this same Mavericks squad two days ago, return home to San Antonio as heavy favorites to extend Dallas's losing streak to seven.
Key Analysis
- • The Mavericks remain without star Kyrie Irving (knee) and defensive anchor Dereck Lively II (foot), leaving them severely undermanned against a surging Spurs team.
- • San Antonio dominated the paint in Thursday's matchup, winning the rebounding battle 50-41 and getting 29 points from Victor Wembanyama.
- • The Spurs have won 8 of their last 11 games and hold a 2-0 season series lead over Dallas, winning by an average margin of 22.5 points.
- • Dallas's defense has collapsed during their six-game losing streak, allowing 135 points to the Spurs on Thursday and consistently giving up high shooting percentages.
- • Rookie standout Cooper Flagg (32 points last game) is performing well, but lacks the supporting cast to overcome San Antonio's depth, especially with De'Aaron Fox (questionable) or Stephon Castle running the Spurs' offense.
- • To have a chance, the Mavericks must drastically improve their 3-point defense after allowing San Antonio to shoot efficiently in their last meeting.
