MMBets: The Mavericks have to get off the mat against Toronto
The Mavericks are 0-2. They have had few competitive minutes in the fourth quarters of the two games they have played. It is essential that they come out swinging against Toronto today. The Raptors have looked good through two games, and play the style of basketball that the Mavericks are trying to play. They’re second […]
Spooky Season? These 5 Numbers Show the Mavs Are in Trouble
Dallas Mavericks losing their first two games of the 2025-2026 season wouldn’t normally raise too many alarms. It’s not the fact that the Mavs are 0-2 in an 82-game season. It’s HOW they are losing. After a disappointing opening night blowout loss to the San Antonio Spurs 125-92, the hope coming into Friday’s night’s home […]
3 things to watch as the Mavericks meet the Raptors
The Dallas Mavericks (0-2) will face the Toronto Raptors (1-1) Sunday for a 6:30pm CST tipoff at American Airlines Center. The Mavericks enter the midpoint of their season opening five-game homestand in search of their first win against a Raptors team bent on defying expectations. The Raptors arrive on the heels of a closely contended […]
Player Grades: Mavericks vs. Wizards
To borrow a turn of phrase from my fellow Mavsmoneyball contributor, Bryan Robi – Oooohhweee. The Mavericks derped their way to an embarrassing 107-117 loss to the Washington Wizards in the second game of their six-game homestand. Let that sink in – The Washington Wizards. Now, a lot of people might point to Kyshawn George’s […]
SB Reacts: Maverick Fans think D’Angelo Russell should play point guard
This week’s SB Nation Mavericks React poll had two questions, and I posted them early enough in the week that they might be interesting to look back on by next Friday. First, I asked about the Mavericks’ record. Dallas has a six-game home stand to kick off the year, and as of this writing, they’ve […]
The Mavericks have to find a point guard
The Mavericks lost to the Wizards on Friday night, 117-107. It was an ugly game for Dallas, and one of the main reasons for that is their clear lack of a point guard. For the last seven years, it was easy to gloss over just how important a game manager is because they had, arguably, […]
3 things we’re pouting about as Dallas flails against the Washington Wizards, 117-107
The Mavericks lost their second straight game to begin the 2025-26 season and their home opener on Friday night in embarrassing fashion, 117-107 to the Washington Wizards. Kyshawn George led the way for the Wizards with 34 points, 11 rebounds, four assists and five steals. Dallas native Tre Johnson also added 17 points, and Alex […]
Stats rundown: 4 numbers to know as the Mavericks fall to the Wizards, 117-107
The Dallas Mavericks fell to the Washington Wizards 117-107 in Friday night’s matchup at home. The horrid loss marks Dallas’ second of the season, and follows a rather forgettable 125-92 defeat to Victor Wembanyama’s Spurs. Daniel Gafford (ankle sprain), Dante Exum (mysteriously undisclosed leg injury?), and Kyrie Irving (ACL) were all out for the Mavericks. […]

MMBets: Expect an up and down game against the Wizards
After a truly defeating 125-92 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night, the Dallas Mavericks are set to take on the Washington Wizards tonight in the second game of their five-game homestand. Dallas looked awfully poor on both ends of the floor in their first game of the season, but it was the […]
3 Mavericks games that will make you rage this season
The Dallas Mavericks kicked off their 2025-26 campaign against the San Antonio Spurs Wednesday at the American Airlines Center, a thrashing by Victor Wembanyama and Co. Now that the ball is rolling it got us looking ahead to the rest of the calendar for our annual tradition. Every season there is, inevitably, a handful of […]
3 Mavericks games that will make you rejoice this season

MMBets: Can Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs actually win basketball games?
Editor’s note: This was written well before that butt whipping from Wednesday. The southwest division looked to be a juggernaut for years to come just a few short years ago. The Mavericks were Luka Doncic’s team, San Antonio had just drafted Victor Wembanyama, Ja Morant and the Grizzlies looked very solid, Zion Williamson was still […]
3 things the Mavericks need to get right ahead of Friday’s game against the Washington Wizards
Where are we after one game in the books and 81 of these things remaining, Mavs fans? Have all our suspicions about mystifying roster construction been confirmed, or are we still clinging to the front office’s crystal clear “defense wins championships” vision, firm in pre-established conclusions that this team just has to be good this […]
3 Overreactions and the Silver Lining of Mavs’ 125-92 Loss Against the Spurs
Stumbling Out of the Gate It had been 187 days since the Dallas Mavericks last played a meaningful game, when they were eliminated by the Memphis Grizzlies in the play-in tournament. Since winning the NBA Draft Lottery in May, enthusiasm and hope returned to the Mavericks fanbase, having the opportunity to draft 18-year-old phenom Cooper […]
There’s an easy fix to the Dallas Mavericks’ problems in season opener, Jason Kidd says
The Dallas Mavericks lost to the San Antonio Spurs by 33 points Wednesday night in Dallas. Lack of spacing, shot creation, defensive cohesion – and too much Victor Wembanyama – are just some of the issues the Mavs struggled with in the nightmare start to the season. During the preseason, the Mavs have been very […]
Stats Rundown: 3 numbers from Mavericks debut against Spurs
The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Dallas Mavericks 125-92 Wednesday night in Dallas. There was bound to be a presence announced in the season opener between the Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs. Unfortunately for the home team, it wasn’t Cooper Flagg’s night to hold the bullhorn. Instead, it was Spurs big man Victor Wembanyama […]
Player Grades: Mavericks vs. Spurs
After an off-season in which the Dallas Mavericks selected Cooper Flagg with the first pick in the NBA Draft, Wednesday night kicked off the 2025-26 NBA season in Big D. In what has become a recurring theme over the past few seasons, Dallas opened against the San Antonio Spurs, but were blown off their home […]
Mavericks vs Spurs Final Score: Dallas blown out by San Antonio, 125-92
The Dallas Mavericks lost their season opener in embarrassing fashion, falling to the San Antonio Spurs, 125-92. Victor Wembanyama exploded into the 2025-26 season with 40 points and 15 rebounds.

MMBets: Can the Pelicans overcome the voodoo curse on their franchise?
Let’s just start with this: The New Orleans Pelicans are a cursed franchise that is seemingly incapable of having anything good happen to it. Every year in the Zion Williamson era, either he himself has gotten hurt or they’ve been so hurt around him to where nothing else matters. Of course, option number three in […]

The Mavericks open their season at home against the Spurs on Wednesday night, and that means another season of Mavericks betting is coming your way.

Power ranking the Dallas Mavericks roster based on VIBES
Just like that, it is opening day for the 2025-26 NBA Season. Six long months have passed since your Dallas Mavericks last played in a game that had meaning. This is a roster that has both changed a lot and very little within the last six or so months, which means it’s time to take […]
Player Grades: Recapping the Mavericks Preseason, Part 2
Continuing yesterday’s column on grading the performances of the Dallas Mavericks from the preseason action. These are my grades, so argue with me as you will in the comments! Naji Marshall: B- Naji Marhsall was everywhere during this Mavs preseason. In 20 minutes, he averaged 10 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists, on 46% from […]
MMBets: The Houston Rockets will try to be a better version of the Mavericks
Houston nearly beat the Warriors last postseason in a thrilling seven-game series. They have accrued so many young players over the last handful of years in their rebuild after James Harden left, and last year’s playoff exit signaled the need for a change. Jalen Green was the obvious candidate to be shipped out, and that […]
