WHO: Dallas Mavericks vs. Phoenix Suns
WHAT: Dirk’s last home game?
WHERE: American Airlines Center, Dallas, TX
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. CT
HOW: Fox Sports Southwest or NBA League Pass
THE STORY: The almost-symmetry is fun: The Mavs end at least their home season as they began, facing the Suns, who were their game 1 opponent. They’ll be pulling out all the stops just in case this is the last home game for The Big German. And while we have one more game, it’s in San Antonio tomorrow against the dreaded Spurs, so it just won’t be the same. For the Suns, anyone interesting is already out for the season (Devin Booker, DeAndre Ayton). For the Mavs, no word yet if Luka will give it a go (I’m writing this in the morning).
Soak it in, y’all. Despite the tank being real, I’m personally rooting for this one to be a win. Go Mavs.
