The Dallas Mavericks (23-46) play host to the flaming-hot Atlanta Hawks (37-31) who have won 10 straight games. The Mavericks are coming off a road drubbing at the hands of the New Orleans Pelicans and just need a few days off. The Hawks have had a cupcake schedule and taken full advantage in terms of wins, but haven’t moved up the standings much at all.
Here are the main things you need to know:
- WHO: Dallas Mavericks vs Atlanta Hawks
- WHAT: Home again!
- WHERE: American Airlines Center, Dallas, Texas
- WHEN: 7:30 pm CST
- HOW: KFAA Channel 29, MavsTV streaming, NBA League Pass
The Mavericks’ injury report has a lot going on with the status of many players up in the air as of this
writing. All three two-way players are questionable, which gives Jason Kidd up until game time to make a decision as to their status. Daniel Gafford and Caleb Martin are each questionable with nagging injuries. Brandon Williams is officially out after entering the concussion protocol.

The Hawks are, of course, very healthy. Jonathan Kuminga is questionable with a knee injury that seems to exist permanently in his case.
The 10 game streak from Atlanta is a bit of a mirage, but make no mistake they have things cooking right now. They have Jalen Johnson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker are putting up fantastic numbers as of late and Dallas will need to adhere to their defensive principles if they want to slow down this Hawks offense. For the Mavericks, I’d like to see the PJ Washington at five experiment again.

Consider joining Josh and me on Pod Maverick live after the game on YouTube, we should start LATE. Thanks so much for spending time with us here at Mavs Moneyball. Let’s go Mavs!
