The Dallas Mavericks (15-15) stay out on the road to play the Minnesota Timberwolves (15-15) in a two game baseball series set of games. The Mavericks face off against the Wolves on both Monday and Wednesday night, then head to Houston Friday even before their Christmas Day game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Both the Mavericks and Wolves have underperformed this season relative to expectations. While Dallas is coming off a Western Conference Finals trip, the Wolves sold the farm to trade for center Rudy Gobert with hopes of making a jump in the competitive Western Conference.
