In the previous game, the Mavericks hosted the Los Angeles Lakers. Jason Kidd's team took advantage of their opponent's lack of effort and jumped to a 15-point lead early in the third quarter. However, when the Lakers came to their senses, Dallas struggled. Although they snatched a win, they left a lot of questions about their game. 127-125 - the Mavs almost gave away a game they had already won. Kyrie Irving didn't play against the Lakers, and Dallas had an unexpected hero. Dante Exum had the best match of his career, scoring 26 points. Tim Hardaway finished with 32 points, and Luka Doncic added 17 assists to his 33 points.
Minnesota
The Wolves are still leading the Western Conference, but Chris Finch's team showed last night that they can fail, too. Minnesota could not cope with New Orleans and got a solid 107-121 on the road. The Wolves weren't that bad on offense without Anthony Edwards. But one of the best defenses of the season failed this time, conceding 33 points from Zion Williamson.
Minnesota can hardly be considered a real contender for high tournament goals, even though they are in first place. As the meeting with the Pelicans showed once again, the Wolves simply don't have a plan B.
Expert Betting Tips
Dallas showed in their matchup with the Lakers that they can play offense without Kyrie Irving. Minnesota might not field Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels, one of the Wolves' key defensive players. So there's reason to believe that Dallas will score a lot again. But whether they will win is far from certain, given the weakness of Jason Kidd's team on defense.
