3 notes as Dallas prepares to face Oklahoma City
Dallas is set to host the West-leading Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday, their final home game before playing eight of their next nine games on the road. OKC is fresh off a hard-fought OT victory against conference foes Denver, while Dallas is coming off an equally crucial matchup against Memphis, and it’s safe to say […]
Dallas Mavericks to convert Ryan Nembhard to standard deal
The Dallas Mavericks will convert point guard Ryan Nembhard’s two-way contract to a standard NBA deal, per Shams Charania. This comes on the heels of the Mavericks waiving newly acquired point guard Tyus Jones. Releasing Jones so he can possibly latch on with a playoff team opened a roster spot for Nembhard. Converting Nembhard to […]
Dallas Mavericks waiving Tyus Jones
The Dallas Mavericks are waiving veteran point guard Tyus Jones, per Marc Stein of The Stein Line. Stein reported late Friday that the team intended to waive Jones, a move that likely preceded converting Ryan Nembhard to a standard contract. Because the move happened prior to the March 1st deadline for playoff eligibility, Jones can […]
Yes, embrace the nihilism of the 2025-26 Dallas Mavericks basketball season
You are stirred from a nightmare just before sunrise to a nightmare of the waking variety, by the shrill of feedback from a blown-out loudspeaker positioned at the end of an otherwise silent city block. The desolate streetscape to which it commands its muffled announcements remains bombed out from a civil uprising that took place […]
Cooper Flagg’s path to Team USA in Olympics 2028 is clear
Houston Rockets forward and the most decorated male basketball player in Olympic history, Kevin Durant, grabbed headlines earlier this week when he stated he plans to play in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. The four-time gold medalist recently spoke to ESPN, shutting down talk of no longer participating. “Hell yeah, I want to […]
Player Grades: Recapping the Mavericks Loss To The Memphis Grizzlies
Watching the Mavericks lose 124-105 to the Memphis Grizzlies felt like a test of mental strength, rather than something a normal person would do for fun. But, when the injury list is as long as the active roster, it makes some sense. Unfortunately, let’s get to the grades. Brandon Williams: C 16 PTS / 8 […]
Stats Rundown: 3 numbers to know from the Mavericks’ 124-105 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies
Commentary on the alleged basketball game that transpired on Friday between the Dallas Mavericks (21-38) and the Memphis Grizzlies (22-36) is not worth the bits and bytes it took to make the web page you’re reading appear on your screen. You would have sworn you were watching an NBA Summer League game if it weren’t […]

Mavericks vs Grizzlies Preview and Injury Update: Dallas is tired
The Dallas Mavericks (21-37) host the Memphis Grizzlies (21-36) on Friday night. Dallas is coming off a rather shocking loss to the lowly Sacramento Kings.

NBA Lottery Watch: the Mavericks hold serve, key games on the way
Depending on your investment in the NBA Draft Lottery — which, you’re here on this page, so — we’ve entered a very tense time in the Dallas Mavericks’ season. Every season there is hand-wringing about the state of tanking in the league. So much so that we’re getting mixed rumors of NBA officials attending player […]
MMBets — The Memphis Grizzlies visit the Dallas Mavericks

The Dallas Mavericks (21-37) will play for the second consecutive night with a game Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies (21-36) that tips at 7:30 p.m. at American Airlines Center.

Stats Rundown: 6 numbers to know from the Mavericks’ 130-121 loss to the Sacramento Kings
When Precious Achiuwa, Maxime Raynaud and Dequon Plowden come to town, Katie bar the doors. You’re in for a tough one. Achiuwa’s career-high scoring night spelled doom for the Dallas Mavericks (21-37) on Thursday at American Airlines Center, as the Sacramento Kings begrudgingly (14-47) took the 130-121 win in the battle of who wanted it […]

Mavericks vs Kings Preview and Injury Update: Terrible time for a win streak
The Dallas Mavericks (21-36) are home for the first time in a month and on Thursday night they host the Sacramento Kings (13-47). Dallas is staring at their least welcomed winstreak in years, defeating the Pacers then the Brookly Nets. The Kings actually beat the Grizzlies this week, which was their first win since one […]
MMBets: The Dallas Mavericks host the Sacramento Kings
The Dallas Mavericks (21–36, 11–11 Home) host the Sacramento Kings (13–46, 4–27 Away) on Thursday night in a matchup that should, on paper, favor the home team. Sacramento limps into town on the second night of a back-to-back, sporting the worst record in the league and a decimated roster. Dallas, meanwhile, is riding a two-game […]
Both left with bruises, but Giannis Antetokounmpo later admitted that Khris Middleton was better
His IQ was described as beyond his years already back in high school. Khris Middleton, one of the new additions to the Dallas Mavericks roster in the Anthony Davis trade to the Washington Wizards, is not just any NBA veteran. Second star at his peak in Milwaukee, once fighting for the top spot with later […]
The NBA award system is broken and they should scrap all structure
Cooper Flagg is currently the odds-on favorite to win Rookie of the Year. His Duke roommate, Kon Kneueppel, is behind him at around +220 (you bet $100, you win $220). Flagg is currently injured (and Dallas is tanking), and, as somewhat of a betting man myself, I wondered why I should not take the juice […]
3 storylines to follow as the Dallas Mavericks host the Sacramento Kings
Don’t worry – we’ll all get through this one together. After a tight game in Indiana and a dicey last-minute flight to Brooklyn, the Dallas Mavericks head back home to host the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night. Your feelings about this matchup depends entirely on your current operating theory of the Mavericks: if you’re team […]
Why The Mavericks Must Bring Back Marvin Bagley
When the Dallas Mavericks traded Anthony Davis, they were mocked for the sheer lack of assets they acquired. Most expected that the trade would only amount to salary cap relief, but the Mavericks may have found something extra. That cherry on top, was Marvin Bagley. In his 6 games with the Dallas Mavericks, Bagley has […]
Mavs Moneyball 2026 Mock Draft 1.0
Folks, it’s time. With the Dallas Mavericks firmly in position to compete for the NBA Draft Lottery, we need to take our first look at how the first round of the 2026 NBA Draft could play out. Myself, along with fellow Mavs Moneyball contributors David, Bryan and David hashed this all out during a live […]
The tank rolls on: Who might pass the Mavericks in wins the rest of the way?
Coming into Tuesday’s NBA slate, the Dallas Mavericks (21-36) sat seventh from the bottom of the league standings. Just the Utah Jazz (18-40), the Washington Wizards (16-40), the New Orleans Pelicans (16-42), the Brooklyn Nets (15-42), the Indiana Pacers (15-43) and the sad Sacramento Kings (13-46) entered play with worse records than the Mavericks. With […]
Player Grades: Mavericks Beat The Brooklyn Nets 123-114
When the Dallas Mavericks play, it is guaranteed to be a close game, regardless of the hectic travel conditions the Mavericks faced. While tanking is the preffered strategy going forward, the Mavericks will still win games against the truly bad teams, such as the Nets. Unless they decide to fully commit to resting and benching […]
Stats Recap: 2 numbers from Mavericks 123-114 win at Nets
