GAME THREAD: Dallas Mavericks at Charlotte Hornets

WHO: Dallas Mavericks vs Utah Jazz

WHAT: The third Dallas Maverick pre-season game

WHERE: Spectrum Center, Charlotte NC

WHEN: 5:30 p.m. CST

HOW: ESPN, for some reason

THE STORY: This has to be the strangest start time that I can remember. 6:00 pm? Sure. 5:30... that’s 6:30 east coast time, which never happens.

Anyway, the Mavericks are only without Reggie Bullock, so Dallas should run away with it as the Hornets are missing Kelly Oubre, Gordon Hayward, and Terry Rozier. It’s always worth watching how much Luka Doncic plays.

Past that, I’m curious what everyone will be watching for. Let us know in the comments.

In the meantime, there were many things written on Mavs Moneyball the last 24 hours. Here’s a sampling:
