The Milwaukee Bucks can shore up their hold on the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference with a win over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday afternoon. The Mavericks visit Milwaukee just once a year, so Bucks fans who only know about that team from their games in the city will be seeing a far different team this time around.
Last year’s Mavs were still focused on making the playoffs and giving franchise cornerstone Dirk Nowitzki one last ride. Maybe Dallas still wanted to do that early this season, but the Mavericks have been too bad to make that happen.
