The Mavericks started the season surprising people around the league with their hot start but have recently hit a slump over the past 10 days as they have lost to Western Conference mainstays in San Antonio, Memphis, and Oklahoma City.

The Mavericks have found themselves constantly leaning on Dirk Nowitzki as he continues to lead the Mavericks in scoring but look to Matthews and Parsons to challenge that as the month of December goes along.
