Luka Looking to Bounce Back On Offense

The Mavericks just played last night and beat the struggling Jazz at home, 110-102. The Dallas defense performed well, and the offense shot 45 percent from the field. Dallas lost by 11 in free throws but excelled in points in the paint. Kyrie Irving led the team in scoring with 23 points.

Dončić didn’t have his usual 30-point-plus game, but he will look to bounce back against a solid Minnesota defense. He still managed to score 15 points and recorded a near triple-double with 9 rebounds and 8 assists. Dallas will need every bit of Luka’s scoring ability to keep pace with the Timberwolves.

Timberwolves Rested and Ready

Minnesota has had 2 days off, and in their last game, they beat the Raptors at home 112-101. The Timberwolves built a 14-point lead and never looked back. Minnesota shot 47 percent from the field and won by 11 in free throws. Minnesota took advantage of 20 Raptor turnovers, with Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle leading the team in scoring with 24 points each.

The newest Minnesota player, Randle, has performed well in every game so far this season. The Mavericks have their own new elite player in longtime Warrior Klay Thompson. Look for these players to try to match each other in points and contribute to the total in this game. The Timberwolves will rely on 3-point shooting and depth scoring.

Mavericks vs Timberwolves Prediction

Both of these teams shoot very well from the field. Dallas is the better team on defense and has its own veteran big 3 of Irving, Thompson, and Dončić on offense. Minnesota is rested, which should help with overall point production. The Timberwolves are also effective at piling up free throws. The stars will get their points, and this should be a somewhat close game.
