Blowing up the score 122-73, the Mavs stunned the 16-time champions and former Maverick Jose Calderon, at the American Airlines Center. The Mavs enter tonight’s contest against the Knicks with a 15-29 record, still working to somehow salvage a playoff berth.
The Mavs will be glad to get their starting center, Andrew Bogut, back for tonight’s matchup. The Knicks would otherwise likely dominate the Mavs on the board behind Kristaps Porzingis and Joakim Noah. Bogut has been out with a lingering hamstring injury similar to the one suffered by guard J.J. Barea earlier in the season. Wesley Matthews, who left Sunday’s contest with a hip injury, is expected to suit up for Dallas.
