The Dallas Mavericks (19-32) head south to play the same team they lost to on Thursday, the San Antonio Spurs (35-16). These two teams played just two days ago and while the Mavericks put up a spirited fight, the Spurs had too much for Dallas to contend with. To see if the Mavericks can push […]
The Los Angeles Clippers have signed Dalano Banton to a 10-day contract, The Stein Line’s Jake Fischer reported on Saturday morning. The former Portland Trail Blazers guard was signed to a training camp deal by the Dallas Mavericks this past summer in free agency. The Mavericks then waived Banton in October after one preseason game, […]
The Mavericks get the second leg of a quick home-and-home with San Antonio on Saturday, this time on the road after Thursday’s loss in Dallas. Despite the final score, that first meeting was more competitive than the margin suggested, with Dallas hanging offensively even while leaning heavily on its top options (Flagg and Marshall). Let’s […]
Per a Spurs press release: The San Antonio Spurs announced plans for their Black Heritage Night game, presented by Spectrum, taking place on Saturday, Feb. 7 as the Spurs host the Dallas Mavericks, tipping off at 5 p.m. This theme night is part of the Spurs month-long celebration of Black History Month, presented by Spectrum, with […]
The Dallas Mavericks have spent two weeks in free fall, during which their coach, Jason Kidd, has lost his cool with the press. They can point to injuries sinking their season, yet they also run a starting lineup without a traditional point guard, and have lacked a spare penetrator to combine with top pick Cooper […]
The second of two straight matchups with the San Antonio Spurs (35-16) on Saturday will be the unveiling of the new-look Dallas Mavericks (19-32), for as long as this looks lasts, anyway. Naji Marshall and Cooper Flagg had matching 32-point, six-rebound nights in Thursday’s 135-123 loss to the Spurs at American Airlines Center, and now […]
The Spurs outlasted another short-handed opponent for their second win in a row. Victor Wembanyama led the team with 29 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 blocks. Harrison Barnes contributed 19 points, and De’Aaron Fox scored 17, while Stephon Castle chipped in 18 off the bench. Congratulations to De’Aaron Fox on his 900th career 3. Here’s […]
Following the NBA’s trade deadline on Thursday, co-general managers Michael Finley and Matt Riccardi were able to speak with the media about the deadline. Unlike last year, when Nico Harrison spewed “defense wins championships” at the media for 15 minutes, the duo was able to provide an interesting perspective on where they see the organization […]
The NBA’s official definition of “clutch time” refers to when a game is within five points or less in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter or overtime. It can be exciting for fans who want a thrilling game, but it can also be stressful and may not be for everyone on every night, […]
According to league sources and first reported by Grant Afseth of the DallasHoopsJournal.com, the Dallas Mavericks continue to see strong long-term potential in pairing Kyrie Irving with Cooper Flagg as soon as Irving returns from injury. The trade of Anthony Davis, Jaden Hardy, D’Angelo Russell and Dante Exum to the Washington Wizards for Khris Middleton, […]
For three quarters Wednesday night, the San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks traded punches beneath the bright lights of the American Airlines Center, neither willing to blink. When the moment finally demanded composure, the Spurs found it — in their stars, in their depth and in a closing burst that turned a tight contest into […]
The Dallas Mavericks lost 135-123 to the San Antonio Spurs Thursday night in Dallas. Cooper Flagg and Naji Marshall had some monster games, but it wasn’t enough to stop a locked in Victor Wembanyama and the rest of this dynamic and impressive Spurs squad. Dallas, as it often does, kept the game close throughout, despite […]
The Dallas Mavericks (19-32) played their first post-Trade Deadline game on Thursday night, taking on the San Antonio Spurs (35-16) at home. Looking to stop a five-game losing streak, Dallas instead extended their season-long skid to six with a 135-123 loss. Let’s get to the grades! Naji Marshall: A 32 PTS / 6 REB / […]
Can a six-game losing streak be fun? The Dallas Mavericks (19-32) are hard at work testing psychological boundaries on the basketball court. Losing basketball in the short term means better chances for Draft Lottery wins ahead, and a new era started in earnest on Thursday with the tank rolling through the tulips in the Mavs’ […]
The Dallas Mavericks (19-31) play yet another home game, but this time against the San Antonio Spurs (34-16). It will be their last home game for three weeks. Dallas is riding quite the losing streak, most recently falling to the Boston Celtics on Tuesday. The Spurs are looking to make it three wins in a […]

We sort of wondered why the Charlotte Hornets traded for two point guards at the last minute, but now we know: they’re sending former Duke guard Tyus Jones to Dallas. This will give them first of all a very solid point guard for the moment and a really good backup when fellow former Blue Devil […]
We knew the Charlotte Hornets weren’t done, but this probably isn’t what most people had in mind. According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Charlotte is flipping Tyus Jones to the Mavericks for guard Malaki Branham. According to Shams, the Mavericks have had interest in acquiring Jones. The Hornets were happy to oblige, but only after getting […] The post Hornets trading Tyus Jones to Mavericks for Malaki Branham first appeared on At The Hive .

The big move was obviously salary-dumping Anthony Davis and D’Angelo Russell, but here is a full summary of where things stand for the team after the buzzer sounded. The picks and players […]
The Dallas Mavericks pulled off a franchise-altering trade on Wednesday, officially moving on from another franchise-altering trade that took place just over a year ago. Gone is Anthony Davis, and with him the last remnants of Nico Harrison’s ill-fated vision. Davis and the cap relief his departure affords the Mavericks is rightfully the headline, however […]
The Dallas Mavericks are still feeling the aftermath of last season’s shocking Luka Doncic trade. They came away with the #1 overall pick last season, cashing that chip in by selecting Cooper Flagg out of Duke, but at 19-31 little else has gone their way. Reviled GM Nico Harrison was relieved of his duties in […]
