Stats Rundown: 3 numbers to know from the Mavericks loss to the Timberwolves
The Dallas Mavericks lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves 118-105 Wednesday night in Dallas. It was a weird, disjointed game that saw Dallas trailing by double-digits for most of the second half, but never letter Minnesota pull away. It was an ugly game, with lots of turnovers, fouls, and missed shots. Dallas started feisty, like they […]
Mavericks vs. Timberwolves Recap: 3 things from Mavericks 118-105 loss to Timberwolves
The Mavericks fell to the Timberwolves in what was easily one of the most tedious and disjointed games of the season. Dallas was led by P.J.

MMB Lounge: Trade season then All Star break
The NBA Trade deadline is in about a week and seeing the comment count on the previous lounge thread means it’s time for a new one.

MMBets: Wolves at Mavs: Is Another Dallas Cover Coming?
As winter weather melts away in North Texas, the Mavericks return home to face a Timberwolves squad still figuring out its own identity.

The 2026 NBA Draft class shines behind Dybantsa, Flemings and Wagler
There was a reason that most everyone in the NBA Draft sphere was glowing about this upcoming class, and it was on full display over the course of this week. For the first time in NCAA Basketball history, three true freshmen scored 40 or more points on the same day. It’s a good year to […]
Mavericks’ Sunday game at the Milwaukee Bucks is postponed
The Dallas Mavericks had a quick turnaround after a 116-110 loss to the Lakers Saturday night.

Stats Rundown: 3 numbers to know from the Mavericks 116-110 loss to the Lakers
The Dallas Mavericks lost to the Los Angeles Lakers 116-110 Saturday night in Dallas.

This was former Mavericks star Luka Doncic’s first game back […]
What Luka Doncic said after the Lakers’ 116-110 win over the Mavericks
It was a fun night inside a very frozen American Airlines Center in Dallas.

Luka Doncic returned to Dallas as a visitor […]

After a four-game winning streak, the Dallas Mavericks (19-27) blew a fourth-quarter lead in Luka Dončić’s return, as both the offense and defense collapsed late.

Coach Kidd speaks on the return of Kyrie Irving
The Dallas Mavericks have managed to put together another injury-laden season, the probability of which seemed low considering just how disastrous 2024-2025 was on the health front. Dereck Lively and Dante Exum are out for the season, having combined to play seven total games (all Lively). Daniel Gafford and P.J. Washington have both experienced lower […]

NBA Draft Takes of the Week: The riches at the top
At Mavs Moneyball we operate out of an instance of Slack, that’s how we do business, chat, watch games, etc. It’s one of those things I wish we could open to the public (a Discord?) but I don’t have time to manage one more thing. So sometime I’ll come back to a given Slack channel […]
NBA Power Rankings Watch: The Dallas Mavericks refuse to quit
The Dallas Mavericks may be the hardest playing team in the NBA. They certainly play the hardest among teams not currently in the playoff picture. They’ve accumulated their fair share of dumb losses this season — and stolen several eye-catching wins — but one guarantee every time the ball is tipped is that Jason Kidd’s […]
