The Mavericks now sit at 6-1, their best seven-game start since 2004-05. Their sole loss came in Denver, while their four wins this past week-and-a-half came against Memphis, Chicago, Charlotte, and Orlando. Maxi Kleber has been injured the past two games with a toe injury, while Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic both played each game on the team’s first back-to-back.
Grade: A-
The win in Orlando on the second night of a back-to-back was impressive. Outside of that game, there haven’t been any breathtaking victories from the Mavericks. Charlotte, Chicago, and Memphis were all games Dallas was supposed to win and to their credit, they did.
