The Dallas Mavericks were red hot heading into the All-Star break. They won nine of their last 11 games as superstar Luka Doncic had the offense performing at an elite level. Now, they are back after a week off to continue climbing the standings in the second half.
The schedule makers were not friendly to the Mavs. They kick off with a back-to-back set. The Mavericks host the San Antonio Spurs on March 10 before traveling to Oklahoma City. Dallas is chasing the rival Spurs in the standings and has an opportunity to make a statement to start the second half.
