The Dallas Mavericks came into Sunday night’s game with an 0-2 record, looking to get on the right track against the Toronto Raptors.

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 […]

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, […]

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.

Stats Rundown: 3 numbers from Mavericks debut against Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Dallas Mavericks 125-92 Wednesday night in Dallas.
