Rick Carlisle approved.
It’s late March, the last of my Salted Brown Butter Cookie Häagen-Dazs is gone, and the Dallas Mavericks (23-47) are hosting the Los Angeles Clippers (34-36) in a game that actually matters—just not the same way for both teams. The Clippers are sitting squarely in the play-in and have dropped back-to-back games to the Pelicans […]
The Dallas Mavericks (23-47) welcome the Los Angeles Clippers (34-36) to town, as both teams look to get back into the win column. The Mavericks are coming off a 135-120 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday, and the Clippers are looking to get right after consecutive losses to the New Orleans Pelicans. Here are […]
To some of us, it may sound like an echo from a not-so-distant past. How do we protect our superstar and franchise player from constantly getting hit and banged up – and carrying too much of the load? “Health is the biggest thing,” Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said a few days ago about […]
The East Bracket of the 2026 NCAA Tournament might be the most-watched by NBA scouts, not because of the names you already know, like Cam Boozer, Darrien Peterson, Mikel Brown Jr., and Braylon Mullins, but because of the names you might not: Donovan Dent, Jeremy Fears, Dominique Daniels, Zuby Ejiofor, and David Punch. If you’re […]
Now that the ball has been tipped and the madness has begun, we turn our attention to the many draft prospects the Mavericks will start evaluating at the end of April. Moving over to the South Region, this is one of the more interesting parts of the bracket when you look at it through a […]
The Midwest region of the 2026 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament features several future pros and likely first round draft picks in this summer’s NBA Draft. The trio of Michigan bigs are the headliners in this region, but the depth here is not to be underestimated. Let’s dive into a few of those guys that have […]
After nearly 17 months of negotiations, the WNBA and WNBA Players Association came to a tentative verbal deal on terms for a new collective bargaining agreement. Annie Costabile of Front Office Sports broke the news early Monday morning from the Langham Hotel in New York City, where marathon bargaining sessions between the two parties had […]
The Dallas Mavericks have been in some familiar matchups over the past few weeks, with the Atlanta Hawks the latest to run it back just eight days after the last time the two teams faced off. Similar to a week ago, the Hawks got a win in a 135-120 decision Wednesday night. Let’s get to […]
The Dallas Mavericks got blown out again, this time a 135-120 loss to the Atlanta Hawks Wednesday night in Dallas. CJ McCollum led the Hawks with 24 points, while Jalen Johnson almost had a triple double with 17 points, 11 rebounds, and nine assists. Daniel Gafford came off the bench to lead Dallas in scoring […]
The Atlanta Hawks defeated the Dallas Mavericks 135-to-120. This game started on the wrong foot, and the Mavericks never quite found their level. If you blinked (or spent the first couple of minutes looking at your phone), you might’ve missed the Hawks starting the game by opening up a 10-to-0 lead within the game’s first […]
The Dallas Mavericks (23-46) play host to the flaming-hot Atlanta Hawks (37-31) who have won 10 straight games. The Mavericks are coming off a road drubbing at the hands of the New Orleans Pelicans and just need a few days off. The Hawks have had a cupcake schedule and taken full advantage in terms of […]
The Dallas Mavericks, New Orleans Pelicans, and Memphis Grizzlies are well out of the play-in race and have their sights set on the loaded 2026 NBA Draft. As of this post, the three teams are separated by one game, with Memphis (23-44) having two fewer losses than Dallas (23-46) and New Orleans (23-46). As the […]
Cue up Future, because we’ve officially entered March Madness. The bracket has officially been revealed, with action from the 2026 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament starting on Tuesday with the “First Four” in Dayton. At Mavs Moneyball, we’re going to take a region by region look at the tournament, highlighting NBA Draft prospects who have the […]
The Atlanta Hawks arrive at American Airlines Center on Wednesday riding a 10-game win streak, which is the sort of thing that makes a 23-win home team either lie down or get ornery. The Mavericks have been ornery lately. Cooper Flagg has scored 21 or more in three straight, PJ Washington has strung together back-to-back […]
The Mavericks were 2-3 this past week and dropped to 13th place in the West. They lost by double-digits thrice, to Atlanta (124-112), Cleveland (138-105), and New Orleans (129-111), and beat Memphis (120-112) and Cleveland (130-120). Cooper Flagg led the team in scoring with 20 points per game. Grade: B The Mavericks got clobbered in […]

The Dallas Mavericks took on the New Orleans Pelicans Monday night to close out a seemingly endless road trip. The Pelicans dealt Dallas a 129-111 loss, resulting in a potentially meaningful impact on each team’s draft chances this offseason. With the loss, Dallas and New Orleans are now tied in the standings, but the Pelicans […]
The Dallas Mavericks lost 129-111 to the New Orleans Pelicans Monday night in New Orleans. This was the Mavericks fourth game in five nights, a rarity in the modern NBA, and the team certainly looked sluggish. New Orleans waxed the Mavericks from about midway through the first quarter and never truly looked back. The Pelicans […]
The Dallas Mavericks leaned further into the tank on Monday night, falling 129-111 to the New Orleans Pelicans in a game that never truly felt competitive down the stretch. Dallas showed brief life early, but couldn’t sustain it as the Pelicans controlled the pace and physicality for most of the night. Naji Marshall led the […]
The Dallas Mavericks (23-45) head to Louisiana to face of against an old friend/foe in the New Orleans Pelicans (22-46). Dallas took the Cavaliers to the woodshed on Sunday afternoon and have had a full day to recover and get ready for tonight’s game. The Pelicans, meanwhile, just keep winning. They have no incentive to […]
The Dallas Mavericks (23-45) are playing their second game in as many nights and their fourth in the last five days on Monday against the Pelicans in New Orleans. It is a tale of two tanks: one with real stakes, and a top-four pick on the line, and one with nothing to play for except […]
The Dallas Mavericks’ season is essentially over, but there’s still plenty to talk about both within the team and around the NBA. And if you’re interested in placing a wager or two, FanDual is the best place for that. Last week I asked two loaded questions and I’m honestly very surprised at the results. It […]
Fresh off a surprising 130-120 win on Sunday at the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Dallas Mavericks (23-45) will play their fourth game in five days on Monday against the struggling New Orleans Pelicans (22-46) at Smoothie King Center. Tipoff in New Orleans is scheduled for 7 p.m. The Mavericks have lost two of three against the […]
The Dallas Mavericks (23-45) defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers (41-27), 130-120, in their Sunday afternoon meeting. The rematch followed Dallas’ 33-point loss to the same team on Friday night. Cooper Flagg, Naji Marshall, and PJ Washington led the way for the Mavericks. Donovan Mitchell and Max Strus were the only two Cavaliers who showed up to […]
