The Dallas Mavericks have been mediocre in the clutch this season. That might surprise a lot of people, considering Luka Doncic’s reputation as a clutch player prior to this season. Despite Doncic’s presence, though, Dallas has struggled to put away teams in the final moments of the game (their game against the Toronto Raptors comes […]

Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks have a free throw problem, and once again, it has cost them a win. On Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks, the Mavs were ahead 105-104 when Dorian Finney-Smith was fouled with 10.7 seconds left. With DFS heading to the free throw line, it was Dallas’ chance to put the […]

Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic just posterized Jrue Holiday. Yes, you read that right.

The Denver Nuggets have now lost three straight games, their latest defeat coming at the hands of Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks.

Prior to Tuesday’s game against the Denver Nuggets, the Dallas Mavericks had not won a game when Luka Doncic scored less than 30 points. They only have a few of those instances when Doncic didn’t light up the scoreboard, but it’s definitely a concerning trend for the franchise. Fortunately, however, they were finally able to […]

Much has been said about the struggles of the Dallas Mavericks role players around Luka Doncic, especially Tim Hardaway Jr.’s, who missed a chunk of last season due to a foot injury. Hardaway began the season misfiring from beyond the arc, making him a potential trade candidate given his underproduction relative to his remuneration. However, […]

Russell Westbrook may have normalized it, but tallying a triple-double remains an absurdly difficult feat. However, if there’s anyone who seems up to the task of chasing Westbrook’s triple-double record, it’s Luka Doncic, who is racking up triple-doubles at an incredible rate. In fact, Doncic filled the stat sheet yet again during the Dallas Mavericks’ […]

The Dallas Mavericks have been getting MVP-level play from their superstar, Luka Doncic, this season. He leads the NBA in scoring at 33.4 points per game.

There were plenty of excitement when the Dallas Mavericks acquired Kristaps Porzingis to partner with Luka Doncic back in 2019. While Porzingis and Doncic proved to be a lethal pick-and-pop duo at the beginning of their partnership, Porzingis ended up being marginalized in the Mavs offense the more Doncic ascended into the superstar he is […]

The Dallas Mavericks’ play to begin the year has been uneven despite Luka Doncic’s ridiculously torrid start to the 2022-23 campaign. Some fans are flummoxed as to why head coach Jason Kidd has limited Christian Wood’s minutes off the bench and why he has remained stubborn with his trust in struggling wings such as Reggie […]

As part of the Dallas Cowboys’ recruiting work on Odell Beckham Jr., Micah Parsons and Trevon Diggs brought him to the Dallas Mavericks’ game against the Phoenix Suns on Monday. Sure enough, Luka Doncic and the Mavs provided some assistance in reeling the veteran wideout to the Big D. During the final minute of the […]

The highly anticipated showdown between Luka Doncic and Devin Booker was quite disappointing, to say the least, with the Phoenix Suns star failing to live up to expectations once again when facing his Dallas Mavericks counterpart. It has been just a few days since Booker exploded for 51 points against the Chicago Bulls, so there […]

Luka Doncic is one of the best players in the NBA today, and according to Phoenix Suns head coach Monty Williams, there’s one area where the Dallas Mavericks star really stands out.

The Dallas Mavericks may have recently brought in Kemba Walker to give Luka Doncic some playmaking help, but it doesn’t mean they are stopping right there. According to recent reports, the Mavs are also keeping an eye on New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose. Dallas is said to be “interested” in Rose, which could signify […]

Friday night was extra special for Jalen Brunson as it was the first time he faced off against his former team, the Dallas Mavericks, after his high-profile offseason transfer to the New York Knicks. Unfortunately, it did not turn out as expected for Brunson and Co., with the Mavs making easy work of the Knicks […]

Luka Doncic wore a custom Philadelphia Eagles jersey on Saturday ahead of the Dallas Mavericks’ showdown with Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks, but he asked photographers not to take a picture of him because he’s so embarrassed by it. The said Eagles jersey has the words “JB Son” written on the back. And […]

Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks faced off against Jalen Brunson for the first time since his offseason move to the New York Knicks. And sure enough, it was a weird moment for both sides. Doncic and Brunson admitted as much following Saturday’s showdown, with Luka himself noting that it’s quite tough to see his […]

New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson used to be one of the most reliable players for the Dallas Mavericks. Outside of Luka Doncic, he was arguably the most important player of the team, especially during his final year in Mavs threads and before he took his talents to the Big Apple. On Saturday, Brunson met […]

The Dallas Mavericks logged an important win on Saturday afternoon, taking down the New York Knicks, 121-100, in Madison Square Garden. Luka Doncic put on a show yet again as he led the Mavs with a 30-point eruption in another memorable performance for the All-Star point guard. After the game, Doncic was clearly pleased with […]

It’s more than safe to assume Jalen Brunson was none too pleased at the New York Knicks’ performance on Saturday. They were blown out by Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks in a matinee at Madison Square Garden, trailing by 32 points midway through the fourth quarter en route to 121-100 loss. Just because Brunson […]

Luka Doncic’s carry job with the Dallas Mavericks has been absolutely insane to watch this season. The offense runs through Doncic alone, and without him, it seems like the operation completely fails. The fans have started to get more and more frustrated with Dallas’ supporting cast, and the star has also shown the same frustration. […]

The Los Angeles Lakers finally appear to be putting things together after a painfully slow start to the 2022-23 season. They have won seven of their last nine games, and while that hasn’t even pushed their record above .500, it shows that there’s still hope for this team to salvage their season. In the process, […]

There was some buzz surrounding the Dallas Mavericks’ signing of former four-time All-Star Kemba Walker. He has yet to make his debut for his new team, but most folks believe that he could make some sort of impact on the Mavs as part of the backcourt rotation. Leave it to team general manager Nico Harrison […]

The Dallas Mavericks should look a little bit different come the trade deadline. With a 10-11 record and sitting just outside the play-in tournament in the Western Conference, it is hard to imagine Mavs owner Mark Cuban is satisfied with his team at the quarter mark of the 2022-23 NBA season. For now, it is […]

Luka Doncic did everything he could (apart from shoot free throws well) to lift the Dallas Mavericks on the road against a Detroit Pistons team that entered Thursday night with a 5-18 record. Doncic dropped 35 points and 10 dimes on 13-25 shooting from the field and a scorching 7-14 from beyond the arc, but […]

Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks were riding high after they defeated the Golden State Warriors, 116-113, on Tuesday night to snap a three-game losing streak.

Luka Doncic put on another clinic on Thursday night in the lone game on the NBA slate.

There was only one NBA game on Thursday night, and it was, perhaps, not too inspiring a matchup on paper.

There’s no denying that Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic has been one of, if not the best player in the entire league early on. It’s also true, however, that it’s highly improbable that he will be able to carry the Mavs by himself. In order for this team to succeed this season, Luka’s teammates need […]

There’s a reason why Tony Snell used to get avoided by managers in the realm of fantasy basketball. Although he played significant minutes in the NBA, he was always a threat to lay eggs across the board. The Dallas Mavericks might have a Tony Snell situation on the team, with Reggie Bullock putting up a Snellesque […]
