Mavericks vs. Timberwolves Preview: Dallas Begins Tough Road Swing at Minnesota
Dallas Mavericks at Minnesota Timberwolves preview: The Mavericks (7-4) open a weekend road trip against the Timberwolves (8-3) on Thursday, as Dallas seeks to end a losing history against Minnesota while Minnesota looks to extend a four-game winning streak without Anthony Edwards.
Dallas Mavericks at Minnesota Timberwolves preview, Digi Mart USA News: After completing a season series sweep of the Indiana Pacers on Monday, the Dallas Mavericks (7-4) hit the road again to start a weekend road trip. The trip starts Thursday, when Dallas visits the Minnesota Timberwolves (8-3).
Dallas has won three straight games after back-to-back losses to the Kings and Spurs. Minnesota has won four consecutive contests and has been resting since Sunday, when it beat the Utah Jazz at home.
One of those streaks will end Thursday night.
The Wolves have been without Anthony Edwards since he underwent arthroscopic knee surgery on October 29. Minnesota has still won five of six without its franchise cornerstone, with four of those five wins coming by double digits. Edwards averaged over 33 points per game this season, and the Wolves have spread that production across the roster.
LaMelo Ball is averaging 18 points and six assists per game. Jaden McDaniels is averaging a career-best 17 points per game.
Ayo Dosunmu has excelled in a new starting role, averaging 18.1 points per game on nearly 47% shooting from three-point range. Rudy Gobert, Jonathan Kuminga, Terrence Shannon Jr.
and Bones Hyland also contribute.
Cooper Flagg has made six of his last eleven three-point attempts over the last two games, and he shot over 60% from the floor in both contests. That shooting has opened the floor for him to attack inside the arc.
Minnesota’s length on the perimeter and Gobert in the middle could challenge him in this matchup.
Dallas has not beaten Minnesota since a game in which Luka Doncic was still with the Mavericks. The matchup illustrates how far the two franchises have diverged since their Western Conference Finals meeting in the summer of 2024.
Local viewers can watch on KFAA Channel 29 or the Mavs TV app. NBA TV will carry the broadcast outside Dallas, and the radio broadcast will air on KRLD 105.3 The Fan.
Tipoff is scheduled for just after 7:00 p.m. CT at Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
