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 […]

The Dallas Mavericks (22-45) are back out on the road Sunday for a weird afternoon game against the same team they played on Friday, the Cleveland Cavaliers (41-26). These two teams played on Friday and the Cavs looked like world beaters as they simply destroyed Dallas from the first quarter on. Let’s see if Dallas […]
The last MMBets post went 4-for-4. I celebrated while writing this in the dark of the ‘ol home office with a bowl of Häagen-Dazs Caramel Cone ice cream, which was outstanding. In other news, my left SI joint spent the day reminding me that barometric pressure is a real and personal enemy. Life is good […]

The Dallas Mavericks (22-44) are at home, finally, after a very long road trip, and play the Cleveland Cavaliers (40-26).

Here are the main things you need […]
The Dallas Mavericks (22-44) play host to the Cleveland Cavaliers (40-26) on Friday on the second night of a back-to-back.

Now they’ll […]
The Dallas Mavericks (22–43, 14–19 Home) snapped a nine-game skid Thursday night in Memphis, which is either great news for the locker room or terrible news for the lottery odds, depending on how you look at it. Khris Middleton—a man who is emphatically not part of the long-term plan, whether he returns next season or […]
The Dallas Mavericks continued their season-long road trip, taking on the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday night. The Mavericks dropped in the standings (or rose in the “draft standings,” depending on your perspective) by way of a Pelicans win on Wednesday night. With the Grizzlies entering Thursday’s action with two more wins than Dallas and one […]
Someone was legally required to win the alleged basketball game between the Dallas Mavericks (22-44) and the Memphis Grizzlies (23-42) at the FedEx Forum on Thursday.

The Dallas Mavericks (21-44) play the final leg of this six-game road trip on Thursday night against the Memphis Grizzlies (23-41).

“I fell in love with the game because it was just outside, playing with my friends.” It makes sense when you think about it. Jason Kidd used to play soccer. Before he started basketball and then became a prolific NBA playmaker and point guard, he was a striker on the football pitch, with a nose […]
After nearly 13 hours of negotiations Tuesday night that bled into early Wednesday morning, WNBA and WNBPA officials left talks with no finalized deal for the league’s collective bargaining agreement.

The Dallas Mavericks (21-44, seventh in Loser for Boozer race) play basketball once again on Thursday, which can be as encouraging or threatening as you choose to make it out to be.
