Dallas Mavericks vs San Antonio Spurs: Current situation
The current situation around Dallas is far from ideal. The team just lost a 4th game in a row, falling down to just 5-7 on the season. That is well below the expectations set before the season had started, Dallas made some high profile moves during the summer in hopes of returning back to the NBA Finals. The good news is we are only still in mid-November, so there is plenty of time to turn things around. However, head coach Jason Kidd will have to dig deep to sort this out.
San Antonio has nothing to lose this season. Even the most optimistic of fans didn’t see this team challenging for the playoffs, but with a 6-6 record after 12 games played, here we are. Victor Wembanyama is elevating his star status every game, he just dropped 50 points on the Washington Wizards, becoming the 4th youngest player in NBA history to do so. All in all, the Spurs have faired well considering they are still without head coach Gregg Popovich who is recovering from a mild stroke suffered earlier this month.
Dallas Mavericks Stats & Form
After going 23-9 in clutch games last season, the Mavericks are by far the worst team in those situations this year. They’ve lost 6 of 7 close games, shooting just 29% from downtown in clutch moments. Luka Doncic has to take the majority of the blame here; he has failed to come into the season in shape and is shooting under 42% from the field so far this year. Kyrie Irving sat out Thursday’s game at Utah due to a shoulder issue, he should be able to return on Saturday.
San Antonio Spurs Stats & Form
San Antonio has a Emirates NBA Cup against the LA Lakers on Friday night, so this game will be a 2nd night of a back-to-back for them. They’ll be happy with the way they’ve played lately, winning 3 of 4 games against formidable opponents. Chris Paul leads the team in assists averaging 8.6 per game, despite logging just 28.5 minutes a night. All the pressure is on Dallas in this game, so the Spurs can play a relaxed tempo and hope for the best.
Dallas Mavericks vs San Antonio Spurs: Head-to-Head

Betting tip and prediction: Dallas Mavericks vs San Antonio Spurs (16.11.2024)
Playing in back-to-back scenarios is never ideal, the Spurs might opt to rest a few players here after a grueling NBA Cup game vs the Lakers on Friday. However, can we really trust the Mavericks to turn things around after such a disappointment they’ve been over the past 10 days or so? This match-up has been a one-sided street for the most part in the last few seasons, but the Spurs have had their moments keeping a number of those games close. They have the edge in three-point shooting here, San Antonio has averaged 17.4 threes per game in their last 5 outings. Dallas, on the other hand, is averaging just 11 per game during that stretch. In today’s NBA it’s hard to win without a consistent three-point shot, the Mavericks could be in trouble against a Spurs team allowing just 33% of made threes in their last 3 outings. The only thing that should worry the Spurs bettors here is the fact that they will be playing a 2nd game in 2 nights, but then again the way Dallas has played lately it is just hard to trust them here. We recommend backing San Antonio to cover the spread.
