The Dallas Mavericks will be meeting the Minnesota Timberwolves twice in four days as both teams collide tonight. Luka Doncic is the driving force for the Mavericks and is drawing comparisons with Micael Jordan. The Mavericks are in a difficult phase and are not able to maintain a winning streak. The Mavericks are 9th in the Western conference, right at the edge of the playoff spot.
In the last couple of games, the Mavs have been inconsistent. In the last game, the Mavs were able to hold off the Cleveland Cavaliers after the Cavs earned the win. The game went into overtime and ended 100-99 for the Cavs. Luka missed out on the game against the Cavs, but he would be happy to see his team make the Cavs work. Nonetheless, Dallas comes into the game with a 5-5 run.
