The Dallas Mavericks matched the New York Knicks’ offer for Moussa Cisse, but the Mavs have barely played him even with Dereck Lively II, Santi Aldama and Morez Johnson Jr. missing time. Why are Cooper Flagg, Kyrie Irving and the Mavs going small instead of giving the 6'11 athlete a real look in the NBA rotation? Nick Angstadt breaks down why Dusty May has experimented with everything this season except Moussa Cisse. He looks at PJ Washington, Cooper Flagg and Naji Marshall playing the 5, the Mavs’ rebounding and rim-protection issues, and Marc Stein’s report that the Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers wanted Cisse. Nick also digs into Cisse’s 551 career minutes, his foul rate, and why Dusty May sees Morez Johnson Jr. as his energy big.       Raccoon Squad Merch Store 🧢 https://raccoonsquad.myapparel.ink/     Join the Everydayer Club (Text Line): Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/     📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images     📲 Follow Locked On Mavs Hit Facebook: Locked On Mavs Hit Instagram | Locked On Mavs Hit Tiktok | Locked On Mavs Hit Twitter | Locked On Mavs Hit     📲 Follow Nick Twitter | @NickVanExit TikTok | NickVanExit Instagram | @NickVanExit     Daily Podcast: Locked On Mavericks with Nick & Isaac Harris 📺 Locked On Mavericks YouTube Channel 🎧 Locked On Mavericks Podcast Platforms     Join the Everydayer Club: Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/         📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | lockedonpodcasts.com/offers     Kalshi Today's hit is sponsored by Kalshi.

The Dallas Mavericks are one of only eight NBA teams ranked top 12 in both offensive rating and defensive rating, and balance has become the Mavs’ secret to success this season. Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving lead the Dallas Mavericks offense, while offensive rebounding, free throw rate and 3-point shooting will decide how high the Mavs can climb in the NBA standings. Nick Angstadt breaks down how Cooper Flagg, Kyrie Irving and head coach Dusty May have built a balanced Mavericks team that sits alongside the San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets, Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors, Minnesota Timberwolves, Memphis Grizzlies and New York Knicks, while the Los Angeles Lakers, Detroit Pistons, Cleveland Cavaliers and Oklahoma City Thunder just missed the cut. He explains how Morez Johnson Jr., Santi Aldama and Dereck Lively II can fix the rebounding issue, and how Naji Marshall, Walter Clayton Jr. and Daniel Gafford are getting to the free throw line more. Plus, why the 3-point shooting of PJ Washington, Max Christie, Zaccharie Risacher and Naji Marshall is the one weakness Nick is worried about, even if Dusty May isn’t.       Raccoon Squad Merch Store 🧢 https://raccoonsquad.myapparel.ink/     Join the Everydayer Club (Text Line): Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/     📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images     📲 Follow Locked On Mavs Hit Facebook: Locked On Mavs Hit Instagram | Locked On Mavs Hit Tiktok | Locked On Mavs Hit Twitter | Locked On Mavs Hit     📲 Follow Nick Twitter | @NickVanExit TikTok | NickVanExit Instagram | @NickVanExit     Daily Podcast: Locked On Mavericks with Nick & Isaac Harris 📺 Locked On Mavericks YouTube Channel 🎧 Locked On Mavericks Podcast Platforms     Join the Everydayer Club: Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/         📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | lockedonpodcasts.com/offers     Kalshi Today's hit is sponsored by Kalshi.

A new Marc Stein report says Masai Ujiri alone made the call to fire Jason Kidd in the name of starting over, and one year after Nico Harrison’s firing the Dallas Mavericks have a clear new direction under Dusty May. Was moving on from Jason Kidd the right move for the Mavs, Cooper Flagg, Kyrie Irving and the team’s NBA future? Nick Angstadt breaks down why Mavs Team President Masai Ujiri wanted a college coach who would live in the gym, and why Dusty May fits the culture Ujiri is building. He explains why Cooper Flagg and Morez Johnson Jr. are the foundation of that culture, how Ujiri and Mavs GM Mike Schmitz chose this franchise, and how the Anthony Davis trade fits the reset. Plus, where the Mavs stand in the NBA Cup odds behind the San Antonio Spurs, Boston Celtics and Oklahoma City Thunder, tied with the Detroit Pistons.     Raccoon Squad Merch Store 🧢 https://raccoonsquad.myapparel.ink/     Join the Everydayer Club (Text Line): Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/     📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images     📲 Follow Locked On Mavs Hit Facebook: Locked On Mavs Hit Instagram | Locked On Mavs Hit Tiktok | Locked On Mavs Hit Twitter | Locked On Mavs Hit     📲 Follow Nick Twitter | @NickVanExit TikTok | NickVanExit Instagram | @NickVanExit     Daily Podcast: Locked On Mavericks with Nick & Isaac Harris 📺 Locked On Mavericks YouTube Channel 🎧 Locked On Mavericks Podcast Platforms     Join the Everydayer Club: Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/         📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | lockedonpodcasts.com/offers     Kalshi Today's hit is sponsored by Kalshi.

Max Christie, Zaccharie Risacher and Marcus Sasser are losing minutes in the Dallas Mavericks rotation as Caleb Martin, Santi Aldama and Walter Clayton Jr. take bigger roles around Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving. What’s driving the Mavs rotation changes this NBA season, and what does Dusty May’s play-well-or-sit approach mean for minutes going forward? Nick Angstadt breaks down the minutes trends for Max Christie, Zaccharie Risacher and Marcus Sasser, from Christie playing 30 minutes a night early to 5 minutes against the Indiana Pacers. He explains why Caleb Martin’s defense and connectivity in the Kyrie Irving–Naji Marshall pick and roll keep him on the floor, how Santi Aldama’s return next to Morez Johnson Jr. and Daniel Gafford set off a ripple effect, and how Walter Clayton Jr. took Sasser’s spot. Nick also covers the Mavs’ NBA Cup group odds.     Raccoon Squad Merch Store 🧢 https://raccoonsquad.myapparel.ink/     Join the Everydayer Club (Text Line): Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/     📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images     📲 Follow Locked On Mavs Hit Facebook: Locked On Mavs Hit Instagram | Locked On Mavs Hit Tiktok | Locked On Mavs Hit Twitter | Locked On Mavs Hit     📲 Follow Nick Twitter | @NickVanExit TikTok | NickVanExit Instagram | @NickVanExit     Daily Podcast: Locked On Mavericks with Nick & Isaac Harris 📺 Locked On Mavericks YouTube Channel 🎧 Locked On Mavericks Podcast Platforms     Join the Everydayer Club: Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/         📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | lockedonpodcasts.com/offers     Kalshi Today's hit is sponsored by Kalshi.

The Dallas Mavericks should be buyers, not sellers, at the NBA trade deadline. Cooper Flagg is playing like a top 15 NBA player and Kyrie Irving is ahead of schedule in his return from an ACL injury. What Mavs trade could land another scorer, and why is there no reason for the Dallas Mavericks to tank when their pick is top-2 protected to the Charlotte Hornets? Nick Angstadt explains why the Mavs should combine contracts like Zaccharie Risacher’s, Max Christie’s, Caleb Martin’s and Marcus Sasser’s into a deadline trade for a scorer instead of chasing a Big 3 with Daniel Gafford and PJ Washington as salary. He looks at what Walter Clayton Jr., Naji Marshall and Santi Aldama do and don’t bring as dribble-pass-shoot options, and why a player like Coby White fits. Nick also covers the Mavs’ NBA Cup West Group A odds against the Denver Nuggets.       Raccoon Squad Merch Store 🧢 https://raccoonsquad.myapparel.ink/     Join the Everydayer Club (Text Line): Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/     📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images     📲 Follow Locked On Mavs Hit Facebook: Locked On Mavs Hit Instagram | Locked On Mavs Hit Tiktok | Locked On Mavs Hit Twitter | Locked On Mavs Hit     📲 Follow Nick Twitter | @NickVanExit TikTok | NickVanExit Instagram | @NickVanExit     Daily Podcast: Locked On Mavericks with Nick & Isaac Harris 📺 Locked On Mavericks YouTube Channel 🎧 Locked On Mavericks Podcast Platforms     Join the Everydayer Club: Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/         📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | lockedonpodcasts.com/offers     Kalshi Today's hit is sponsored by Kalshi.

Dallas Mavericks head coach Dusty May has the Mavs off to a 7-4 start, and Kyrie Irving says May’s willingness to confront players and hold them to a standard is a big reason why. How is Dusty May managing the Mavs rotation, and what does it mean for Cooper Flagg, Kyrie Irving and the Dallas Mavericks’ NBA season? Nick Angstadt breaks down Kyrie Irving’s postgame quote after the Mavs’ win over the Indiana Pacers, plus a Santi Aldama moment that showed May’s standard in action. Nick digs into how Dusty May is juggling minutes for Caleb Martin, Zaccharie Risacher, Max Christie and Marcus Sasser, and where Morez Johnson Jr., Naji Marshall, Walter Clayton Jr., PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford fit. He also explains why Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flagg’s leadership gives May the trust to keep pulling the right levers.    Raccoon Squad Merch Store 🧢 https://raccoonsquad.myapparel.ink/     Join the Everydayer Club (Text Line): Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/     📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images     📲 Follow Locked On Mavs Hit Facebook: Locked On Mavs Hit Instagram | Locked On Mavs Hit Tiktok | Locked On Mavs Hit Twitter | Locked On Mavs Hit     📲 Follow Nick Twitter | @NickVanExit TikTok | NickVanExit Instagram | @NickVanExit     Daily Podcast: Locked On Mavericks with Nick & Isaac Harris 📺 Locked On Mavericks YouTube Channel 🎧 Locked On Mavericks Podcast Platforms     Join the Everydayer Club: Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/         📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | lockedonpodcasts.com/offers     Kalshi Today's hit is sponsored by Kalshi.

Kyrie Irving revealed how the Dallas Mavericks shut out preseason predictions and NBA trade rumors, and why the Mavs’ locker room is bought in after a 7-4 start. What did Kyrie Irving tell Cooper Flagg and the rest of the Dallas Mavericks roster after the win over the Indiana Pacers, and how has it shaped the Mavs’ season? Nick Angstadt breaks down Kyrie Irving’s postgame press conference and what his leadership means for the Dallas Mavericks. Nick looks at a tough opening stretch against the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, Miami Heat, Indiana Pacers, Oklahoma City Thunder and Sacramento Kings. He also covers the respect Kyrie Irving has earned from Cooper Flagg and head coach Dusty May, and the trade speculation reported by Tim MacMahon and Brian Windhorst.       Raccoon Squad Merch Store 🧢 https://raccoonsquad.myapparel.ink/     Join the Everydayer Club (Text Line): Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/     📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images     📲 Follow Locked On Mavs Hit Facebook: Locked On Mavs Hit Instagram | Locked On Mavs Hit Tiktok | Locked On Mavs Hit Twitter | Locked On Mavs Hit     📲 Follow Nick Twitter | @NickVanExit TikTok | NickVanExit Instagram | @NickVanExit     Daily Podcast: Locked On Mavericks with Nick & Isaac Harris 📺 Locked On Mavericks YouTube Channel 🎧 Locked On Mavericks Podcast Platforms     Join the Everydayer Club: Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/         📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | lockedonpodcasts.com/offers     Kalshi Today's hit is sponsored by Kalshi.

Santi Aldama is back for the Dallas Mavericks, and his floor spacing, ball handling and competitive fire are opening up the Mavs bench alongside Morez Johnson Jr. and Naji Marshall. Is the 7-footer the piece that makes this NBA roster work around Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving, and was he worth the protected first-round pick? Nick Angstadt breaks down Santi Aldama’s 12-point night against the Brooklyn Nets, how the Aldama-Morez Johnson Jr. pairing changes the geometry of the second unit, and where Walter Clayton Jr., Zaccharie Risacher and Caleb Martin fit in. Nick also shares Dusty May’s “psycho competitor” quote about Aldama and the media day story about Aldama and Cooper Flagg’s on-court history. Plus, how PJ Washington, Naji Marshall and the Mavs feed off that competitive fire, and whether this team can climb into the top six in the West.      Raccoon Squad Merch Store 🧢 https://raccoonsquad.myapparel.ink/     Join the Everydayer Club (Text Line): Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/     📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images     📲 Follow Locked On Mavs Hit Facebook: Locked On Mavs Hit Instagram | Locked On Mavs Hit Tiktok | Locked On Mavs Hit Twitter | Locked On Mavs Hit     📲 Follow Nick Twitter | @NickVanExit TikTok | NickVanExit Instagram | @NickVanExit     Daily Podcast: Locked On Mavericks with Nick & Isaac Harris 📺 Locked On Mavericks YouTube Channel 🎧 Locked On Mavericks Podcast Platforms     Join the Everydayer Club: Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/         📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | lockedonpodcasts.com/offers     Kalshi Today's hit is sponsored by Kalshi.

Cooper Flagg revealed his peanut butter and jelly secret after a Dallas Mavericks win over the Brooklyn Nets, crediting the Mavs strength and medical staff for keeping him right. What does Cooper Flagg’s 25-point, 12-assist night say about how he’s finding what works for him in the NBA as the Mavs build around him and Kyrie Irving? Nick Angstadt breaks down Cooper Flagg’s answers to Christian Clark and Leslie McCaslin, why his praise for the Mavs strength and medical staff matters, and how Flagg went from scorer to playmaker against the Nets. Nick also explains why Daniel Gafford’s 18 points and his trip to the podium with Flagg are notable, and how Flagg bringing PJ Washington and others along mirrors what he did with Kon Knueppel and Khaman Maluach in college. Grape or strawberry, smooth or crunchy: Nick shares his PB&J order and wants to hear yours.      Raccoon Squad Merch Store 🧢 https://raccoonsquad.myapparel.ink/     Join the Everydayer Club (Text Line): Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/     📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images     📲 Follow Locked On Mavs Hit Facebook: Locked On Mavs Hit Instagram | Locked On Mavs Hit Tiktok | Locked On Mavs Hit Twitter | Locked On Mavs Hit     📲 Follow Nick Twitter | @NickVanExit TikTok | NickVanExit Instagram | @NickVanExit     Daily Podcast: Locked On Mavericks with Nick & Isaac Harris 📺 Locked On Mavericks YouTube Channel 🎧 Locked On Mavericks Podcast Platforms     Join the Everydayer Club: Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/         📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | lockedonpodcasts.com/offers     Kalshi Today's hit is sponsored by Kalshi.

Morez Johnson Jr. broke out for the Dallas Mavericks against the Utah Jazz with 13 points, 17 rebounds and 10 offensive rebounds in his first NBA game without a minutes restriction. Can the Mavs rookie big man and Santi Aldama give Cooper Flagg, Kyrie Irving and Dusty May the rebounding edge Dallas has been missing? Nick Angstadt breaks down Morez Johnson Jr.’s tone-setting night, how it stacks up with Moussa Cisse’s 20-rebound game last season, and why Dusty May keeps asking for a couple of extra rebounds every quarter. Nick also explains how Santi Aldama changes the Mavs’ geometry as a floor-spacing 7-footer next to Morez Johnson Jr., Daniel Gafford, PJ Washington, Naji Marshall and Zaccharie Risacher. What does it mean for Walter Clayton Jr., the Mavs’ small-ball lineups and the Dallas Mavericks’ rebounding outlook this season?       Raccoon Squad Merch Store 🧢 https://raccoonsquad.myapparel.ink/     Join the Everydayer Club (Text Line): Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/     📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images     📲 Follow Locked On Mavs Hit Facebook: Locked On Mavs Hit Instagram | Locked On Mavs Hit Tiktok | Locked On Mavs Hit Twitter | Locked On Mavs Hit     📲 Follow Nick Twitter | @NickVanExit TikTok | NickVanExit Instagram | @NickVanExit     Daily Podcast: Locked On Mavericks with Nick & Isaac Harris 📺 Locked On Mavericks YouTube Channel 🎧 Locked On Mavericks Podcast Platforms     Join the Everydayer Club: Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/         📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | lockedonpodcasts.com/offers     Kalshi Today's hit is sponsored by Kalshi.

Cooper Flagg is carrying the Dallas Mavericks: the Mavs outscore opponents by 8.4 points per 100 possessions with him on the floor and get outscored by 16.3 with him off. How do Cooper Flagg, Kyrie Irving and the Mavs’ bench units stack up, and could Dallas really be a 55-win NBA team if Flagg never sat? Nick Angstadt breaks down Cooper Flagg’s on-off numbers from Cleaning the Glass and compares his impact to SGA, Nikola Jokic, Jayson Tatum, Luka Doncic and Victor Wembanyama. He digs into how Flagg and Kyrie Irving perform together and apart, and why the Mavs struggle when Flagg sits. He also explains why that’s not totally on Kyrie and what the Mavs need to figure out with their bench.    Raccoon Squad Merch Store 🧢 https://raccoonsquad.myapparel.ink/     Join the Everydayer Club (Text Line): Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/     📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images     📲 Follow Locked On Mavs Hit Facebook: Locked On Mavs Hit Instagram | Locked On Mavs Hit Tiktok | Locked On Mavs Hit Twitter | Locked On Mavs Hit     📲 Follow Nick Twitter | @NickVanExit TikTok | NickVanExit Instagram | @NickVanExit     Daily Podcast: Locked On Mavericks with Nick & Isaac Harris 📺 Locked On Mavericks YouTube Channel 🎧 Locked On Mavericks Podcast Platforms     Join the Everydayer Club: Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/         📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | lockedonpodcasts.com/offers     Kalshi Today's hit is sponsored by Kalshi.

The Dallas Mavericks are allowing a 35.9% offensive rebounding rate, 29th in the NBA, but is it a real Mavs weakness, or did early games against the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs skew the numbers? What does the rebounding picture mean for Cooper Flagg, Kyrie Irving, and Dusty May’s zone defense as the NBA schedule eases up? Nick Angstadt explains why the Mavs’ rebounding numbers look worse than the problem really is: 4 of Dallas’s first 8 games came against Houston and San Antonio, including Victor Wembanyama. Nick also looks at the other board-crashing teams on the early schedule, including Bam Adebayo’s Miami Heat, Pascal Siakam’s Indiana Pacers, Isaiah Hartenstein’s Oklahoma City Thunder and the Sacramento Kings. He breaks down how Dusty May’s league-high zone defense usage is hurting the Mavs on the glass, what Dusty May said after the Spurs game, and why the upcoming stretch should help.    Raccoon Squad Merch Store 🧢 https://raccoonsquad.myapparel.ink/     Join the Everydayer Club (Text Line): Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/     📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images     📲 Follow Locked On Mavs Hit Facebook: Locked On Mavs Hit Instagram | Locked On Mavs Hit Tiktok | Locked On Mavs Hit Twitter | Locked On Mavs Hit     📲 Follow Nick Twitter | @NickVanExit TikTok | NickVanExit Instagram | @NickVanExit     Daily Podcast: Locked On Mavericks with Nick & Isaac Harris 📺 Locked On Mavericks YouTube Channel 🎧 Locked On Mavericks Podcast Platforms     Join the Everydayer Club: Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/         📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | lockedonpodcasts.com/offers     Kalshi Today's hit is sponsored by Kalshi.

Dallas Mavericks head coach Dusty May closed the Mavs’ win over the San Antonio Spurs with two-way guard Walter Clayton Jr. alongside Cooper Flagg, Kyrie Irving, PJ Washington and Naji Marshall in a small ball NBA lineup. Why did the Mavs trust Walter Clayton Jr. over veterans in crunch time, and will this Dallas Mavericks closing lineup stick against the Utah Jazz?
