We’re five days into the New Year and our beloved Dallas Mavericks haven’t had the luxury of spending time in front of their home crowd at the American Airlines Center. It’s a pain felt by everyone. Luckily, that pain is lessened with the knowledge that the Mavericks have won on the road to start 2019. That’s something they only did twice this season before the calendar switched over. So, that’s good! The bad thing is that it may all be a mirage and tonight, the team faces another tough challenge in Philadelphia against the 76ers.
