Stats Rundown: Rookies Shine in Mavs’ 129-119 Loss to the Lakers
You mean you didn’t have Anthony Davis returning to the starting lineup on your Thanksgiving bingo card? Or Ryan Nembhard getting his first career NBA start against Luka Dončić? We didn’t either.

We’re Back
With the Dallas Mavericks squaring off against the L.A. Lakers for the first time in the regular season this year, and for the first time since the departure of Nico (pronounced a$$hole) Harrison, I’m feeling more excited about watching this game than I’d expected. It’s only been like two weeks, but I’m already feeling relief […]

Roundtable: What we’re thankful for
It’s been a slow week for us at Mavs Moneyball, after a ton of games in a row, three days off feels weird. But I had family stuff and the season’s so long it didn’t make sense to bully the staff into things. But I did have a couple of questions for them to answer, […]

A rare highlight that’s worth celebrating. So let’s spend some time taking a closer look at the underrated talent of Naji Marshall: understanding how to change the […]
Injury updates on Dereck Lively and Anthony Davis
The Dallas Mavericks experienced an absurd string of injuries throughout the 2024-2025 season, spending much of the offseason cleaning up the damage in preparation for a fresh start. Sadly, that fresh start has yet to really take form. Dereck Lively experienced a foot injury last season from which he nearly returned, before a last-minute MRI […]
Grading the Mavericks: The expectation for this year can no longer be winning
The Mavericks were 1-3 this past week and fell to 14th place in the West. They lost a heartbreaker to New York (113-111), won a thriller against New Orleans (118-115), then lost an uninspiring effort against Memphis (102-96) and an ugly contest to Miami (106-102). P.J. Washington led the team in scoring over the last […]

The Dallas Mavericks played their last game before breaking for Thanksgiving, losing to the Miami Heat by a final score of 106-102.

The Heat Are Running the Craziest Offense in the NBA — and the Mavericks Aren’t Built for It
There’s a moment in Thinking Basketball’s newest video where Ben Taylor points out that the average NBA team sets 55 ball screens per 100 possessions. Memphis last year posted the lowest number ever tracked at 34. The 2025–26 Miami Heat? Twelve. Twelve screens per 100 possessions. That’s not just a stylistic choice — that’s a […]
