The Wolves face the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night in Ryan Saunders’ first home game as Interim Head Coach. He will certainly get a warm welcome from the Minnesota crowd. The Wolves looked great in his first game on the sidelines in OKC, and they’ll look for a repeat performance in yet another important conference matchup.
The Mavericks are an interesting team. They are currently 19-22 and sitting in the No. 14 spot in the Western Conference. That being said, they are a quality squad. Everything is so tight in the West right now that’s it’s better to look at record than seeding to determine how good a team is—the Mavs are just 3.
