WHO: Dallas Mavericks vs. Washington Wizards
WHAT: A chance to get back on track?
WHERE: American Airlines Center, Dallas, TX
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. CT
HOW: Fox Sports Southwest, Fox Sports GO or NBA League Pass
THE STORY: The Mavericks may be playing the most “clutch time” games of literally any team in the NBA (don’t stat check that, I’m just guessing), but they are certainly not winning them. Perhaps that changes tonight, with a home game against the Wizards. John Wall is reportedly a game time decision, and there may be a little controversy around the team with a recent players-only meeting backfiring with team chemistry a bit. (Drama!)
Regardless, the only thing that hurts the Mavericks to lose these clutch games is draft position, so I’m not mad at the losses, though it would help my (and the Mavs’ probably) morale to start winning a couple here and there. So for that reason alone, go Mavs?
