WHO: The Minnesota Timberwolves host the Dallas Mavericks

WHAT: The team we haven't beaten...

WHERE: Target Center, Minneapolis, MN

WHEN: 7:00pm CT

HOW: FSSW | League Pass

THE STORY: We can't seem to beat the Wolves. Blame it on Kevin Love, who will be returning to action tonight after serving a 2-game suspension. To be fair, the Mavericks faced Minny without Dirk Nowitzki last time, and they're coming off of a huge win over Denver two nights ago. At the time of me writing this, Jason Kidd was still only a possibility for tonight's game. Make sure to visit Canis Hoopus for the other perspective.

Here we go Mavericks, HERE WE GO.

WHO: The Denver Nuggets host the Dallas Mavericks

WHAT: First game back after a nice little break.

WHERE: Pepsi Center, Denver, CO

WHEN: 8:00pm CT

HOW: FSSW | League Pass

THE STORY: The first time these two teams met, the Nuggets put the Mavericks in their place. Since then Dallas has found some defensive consistency and Denver has fallen off a bit. Tonight they face each other after both falling on a three-game losing skid. Dallas will still be without Jason Kidd, and Denver will be missing their centerpiece, Danilo Gallinari, as well as Timofey Mozgov. Should be a decent game, since it's must-win for both teams. Stop by Denver Stiffs for Nuggets coverage.

Don't lose this one!

WHO: The Cleveland Cavaliers host the Dallas Mavericks

WHAT: Who knows anymore. I just want two complete halves of basketball. Kthx.

WHERE: Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland, OH

WHEN: 6:30pm CT

HOW: FSSW | League Pass

THE STORY: I don't even know anymore. With Dirk Nowitzki surging, we should be a lot better right? Yeah, that's what I said. The Cavaliers aren't the Pacers, but at this point, with the way Dallas is being so inconsistent, it's anyone's game. Jason Kidd is still likely out tonight, so someone is going to have to focus on feeding Dirk. Try not to Fear The Sword too much, but do visit their site.

Let's Go. Woot.

WHO: The Dallas Mavericks host the Indiana Pacers

WHAT: The Mavericks haven't let the Pacers win in their house in eight seasons.

WHERE: American Airlines Center, Dallas, TX

WHEN: 7:30pm CT

HOW: FSSW | League Pass

THE STORY: It looks like we're hopefully just back to being without Jason Kidd for tonight's meeting. The Pacers are on a roll, and the Mavericks just lost a heartbreaker to OKC at home. The two halves of basketball played by Dallas might as well have been played by two different teams. Perhaps we can get a consistent game and a decent win out of tonight. Somebody call up Holger and tell him to get Dirk into shape. ASAP.

MAVS!

WHO: The Dallas Mavericks host the Oklahoma City Thunder

WHAT: Here's hoping we can posterize Perkins again...

WHERE: American Airlines Center, Dallas, TX

WHEN: 7:00pm CT

HOW: ESPN | FSSW

THE STORY: People are going to be talking about how Blake Griffin embarrassed Kendrick Perkins (not sure WHY... it wasn't the best dunk I've seen. Hardly a dunk, even) for a long time to come. If we're lucky, it will all be irrelevant when we beat both teams and win the conference. Regardless, we still have tonight's game to worry about. It looks like everyone but Jason Kidd, *Brendan Haywood and Lamar Odom* is slated to play. And it's on ESPN, so let's make some highlight reels of our own, shall we? Don't forget to visit Welcome to Loud City when you get a moment. Good dudes.

LET'S. GO. MABS.

WHO: The Phoenix Suns host the Dallas Mavericks

WHAT: Hopefully nothing as stressful as last night..

WHERE: US Airways Center, Phoenix, AZ

WHEN: 8:00pm CT

HOW: FSSW | League Pass

THE STORY: Nobody wants a game as tense as the Spurs game last night. The Suns are without Steve Nash tonight, which is all well and good since Dallas still wont have Jason Kidd. Fortunately, Rodrigue Beaubois has stepped up valiantly in his place, as has Delonte West. The Mavs may be tired tonight, but since the Suns haven't beaten the Mavericks since 2010, the odds are stacked in our favor. Then again, if Dirk Nowitzki keeps playing the way he's playing, well, let's just leave that one alone. Stop by, but don't stare too long at, the Bright Side of the Sun. Also check out the Q&A I did earlier today for their preview!

MABBBBBSSSSS.

WHO: The Dallas Mavericks host the San Antonio Spurs

WHAT: Yuck. It's the Spurs.

WHERE: American Airlines Center, Dallas, TX

WHEN: Ignore to my mistake earlier, the game is at 5:30pm CT

HOW: ESPN | FSSW

THE STORY: Jason Kidd is out with a strained calf. Dirk Nowitzki is *playing*. Looks like Rodrigue Beaubois might be getting that start with Kidd out, and Delonte West was wearing a uniform and participating in shootaround, so he's *definitely* a go. Visit Pounding the Rock if you feel like consorting with the enemy.

Los Mabs!

WHO: The Dallas Mavericks host the Utah Jazz

WHAT: Is anyone else overwhelmed by the amount of basketball happening?

WHERE: American Airlines Center, Dallas, TX

WHEN: 7:30pm CT

HOW: FSSW | League Pass

THE STORY: Same old, same old. Dirk Nowitzki is still out. Vince Carter might play. Shawn Marion is on his game right now, and Jason Terry and Jason Kidd are starting to get their feet back under them. Lamar Odom is still eh. Delonte West has replaced Carter on the injured list with a hammie injury. The last time these two teams faced, Dallas was victorious. Hopefully without any distractions (no more ceremonies, please. too much crying) they can win again. Pop in to SLC Dunk for more on the Jazz.

MAAAAAAAAABS.
