Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic recorded with the Dude Perfect cast on Dec. 8, while other Mavericks went holiday shopping for kids.

The Dallas Mavericks face the Milwaukee Bucks tonight in the marquee matchup on the schedule. Will Luka Doncic or Giannis Antetokounmpo get the upper hand in their second matchup of the season? Damian Lillard got hot to produce a 40-point double-double, but Jamal Murray drilled the game-winner with just 0.9 left to lift the Nuggets to 15-10 on the year. They took multiple families in need out and bought them gifts for the holiday season. and Dwight Powell participated in the Mavs holiday shopping spree. Fans should be excited to see Luka’s episode, which should come out in the coming weeks.

Should we expect something different or more of the same in the second game between the two teams?

Someone more technologically savvy than myself could probably find a way to research this, but I imagine Luka has hit his overs more often than not. Grayson Allen is the greatest shooter of our generation and the folks over at DraftKings are insulting him with a point total that low. In Luka we trust. If the Mavericks are going to pull this out, Luka will have to have another spectacular night and the role players will need to step up. The Bucks allow a ton of corner threes and I expect Dorian Finney-Smith to be the beneficiary, If he can hit two threes, he’ll hit the over on 3 pointers made and should be able to hit his over on points. Role players are hitting more open shots while the attention to detail on the defensive ends seems to have reappeared.

Will the Dallas Mavericks make a move before the Feb. The Mavericks should be hunting for an upgrade as they attempt to move McGee to a place where he can make a larger impact. Dallas traded for Christian Wood, so he is eligible to be dealt now, and the Mavericks have an extension deadline in late December that could determine his long-term future with the team. Just a few months in and that long-term deal for the 34-year-old is already looking like a massive mistake. Teams are unable to move players that signed in the offseason until that date, and it is the unofficial kick-off of trade season. The trade market is about to heat up as 16 percent of the league’s players become eligible to be traded on Dec.

An additional accolade could be put on top of that as he’s also often listed as the [greatest European player](https://www.thesportster.com/nba-best-european-players/) in NBA history. Anyone who’s been a fan of the NBA for any stretch of time knows that a rebuild means a team is in for a couple of years of struggle. He is seemingly never afraid to speak his mind and push for exactly what he believes is in the best interest of his team. Considering the team performed well for the next decade, it’s probably fair to say that worked. They would stop the Miami Heat in dominant fashion in the finals to finally claim their first championship. Unfortunately, the rest of the year was anything but good for The Mavericks as they were often on the wrong side of the win column whenever they met with other teams. It may be a bit of a stereotype, but considering how Texas is perceived by most people, it makes sense that the name for the Dallas Mavericks came from a western show.

As great as Doncic is and as many of those shots as he has hit in the past, this aspect of the Mavericks' offense is far too predictable. Kidd then calls timeout to rescue the last 2 seconds on the clock. Rather than call timeout and run a set play from the sidelines, the Mavericks push the ball up the court. The Bucks inbounded with 9 seconds left, right to Lopez and he scores with 7 seconds remaining. For a season that is just a bit past the one-quarter mark, the Mavericks have had a full year’s worth of strange, unlikely, and painful losses. Yet when it happens at the most inopportune times and with stinging repetition, my mind starts to drift from player performance to player focus and preparation.

Here's everything you need to know before the Chicago Bulls take on the Dallas Mavericks in their 25th game of the 2022-23 regular season.

- Dec. With Luka Doncic on a warpath for the MVP award, the Mavericks are likely to be too formidable a foe for the Bulls, despite what Vegas may think. If Javonte is able to return tonight, it remains unclear if he will once again start or be eased back into the rotation off of the bench. Gambling odds and information courtesy of FanDuel. The Bulls have won four of their last five meetings against the Mavericks, so expect Dallas to try particularly hard to put an end to Chicago’s winning ways tonight. It’s a good thing they’ll be playing at home tonight then, as they host the ever-dangerous Luka Doncic and his Dallas Mavericks.

This prop has hit the last 7 games and I expect the trend to continue tonight. Not surprising as this is the second night of a back-to-back for the Mavs. I like this prop purely off the amount of threes Luka has been taking lately. I will be staying away however, if you are itching to take the o/u I would lean under. The O/U is set at 224 for this game and I personally will be staying away. A game essentially lost on the ability to make free throws.

The Chicago Bulls host the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night! It's time to continue our NBA odds series with a Mavericks-Bulls prediction and pick.

I like the Bulls to win big tonight. 1 team in the East for a while. The Bulls have a chance to take down the Mavericks as Luka Doncic will not be suiting up for this matchup. We all know what Doncic means to this team and to the NBA as a whole. The Bulls have a chance to get back on track tonight. Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 28 in the Bucks’ win after a huge comeback in the 4th quarter.

It doesn't appear that Christian Wood will be starting alongside Luka Doncic for the Dallas Mavericks anytime soon.

The coaches had no interest in coaching and the Bulls were handed an easy win on a silver platter. The Maverick’s players had no interest in playing. He didn’t bring a credible wing defender or Dinwiddie into the game until the Mavericks were once again down 20 and the Bulls never looked back. The Mavericks ended the quarter down 40-30 but appeared to be back in the game. With DeRozan clearly feeling it, the Mavericks deployed a lineup with Frank Ntilikina, Jaden Hardy, Kemba Walker, Davis Bertans, and JaVale McGee. The second quarter was the DeRozan show.

The Bulls took advantage of NBA scoring leader Luka Doncic's absence to rout the Dallas Mavericks 144-115 on Saturday night.

The Bulls lead 82-53 at the halftime, setting a team record for points in a first half. Spencer Dinwiddie had 27 points for Dallas and Christian Wood added 21. Nikola Vucevic added 20 points and eight rebounds and Ayo Dosunmu had 17 points to help Chicago win its second straight game.

Walker finished with eight points, five assists, two rebounds and one block in Dallas' loss on Saturday.

Though the result wasn't a win for Walker and the Mavericks, the former lottery pick was one of just two players on Dallas' team who finished with a positive point differential at a plus-2. After several practices and watching the team from the bench since joining them, Walker finally made his debut, and he admitted there were some nerves when he checked in for the first time in 297 days. "It felt great, I was just in the house a few weeks ago," Walker said, referring to how it wasn't too long ago that he was a free agent.
