The Dallas Mavericks (21-36) are home for the first time in a month and on Thursday night they host the Sacramento Kings (13-47). Dallas is staring at their least welcomed winstreak in years, defeating the Pacers then the Brookly Nets. The Kings actually beat the Grizzlies this week, which was their first win since one over the Washington Wizards in mid-January. The Kings are bad bad bad bad, but we knew that already
Here’s the main things you need to know:
- WHO: Dallas Mavericks vs Sacramento Kings
- WHAT: The new Dallas Mavericks finally get to play in front of the home crowd
- WHERE: American Airlines Center, Dallas, Texas
- WHEN: 7:30 pm CST
- HOW: KFAA Channel 29, MavsTV streaming, NBA League Pass
Oh boy what an injury report we have today.
On the Dallas end, Cooper Flagg, Daniel Gafford, PJ Washington, and Ryan Nembhard are all out with various maladies. Khris Middleton is going to suit up after hurting his shoulder the other night. Moussa Cisse and Miles Kelly should both see some action tonight as they’re both listed as available.

Unlike the Nets, the Kings have taken to just shutting down guys for the year. Domanta Sabonis and Zach LaVine are out. Russell Westbrook was ruled out for tonight’s game. DeAndre Hunter and Dyland Cardwell are missing the game with various injuries. Keegan Murray has been out with a bad ankle sprain. It’s bleak over there for an already bad team.
I see no way Dallas loses. They have NBA players. The Kings have DeMar DeRozan. It’s gonna be a sad evening of basketball for the hardcore fans out there.

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!
