In their last outing against the Suns, the Mavericks secured an impressive 128-114 victory. Their offense was firing on all cylinders, shooting an effective field goal percentage of 63 percent and converting 72 percent from two-point range. They also demonstrated their ability to control the game tempo by leading for over 40 minutes and maintaining a possession advantage.


The previous home game saw even more dominance from Dallas as they decimated the Spurs with a staggering 144-119 scoreline. The team's efficiency was off the charts with an offensive rating that soared past expectations and a true shooting percentage of nearly 66 percent. Their bench contributed significantly with 37 points, showcasing depth in their roster.


However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for the Mavericks; they faced adversity in Houston against the Rockets where they fell short by a score of 96-122. Despite this setback, there were still positives to draw upon – such as bench scoring which amounted to an impressive tally of 65 points.


Looking ahead to their matchup against Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena, it's clear that if Dallas can maintain its high-octane offense while tightening up defensively when needed, they could very well continue on this winning path.


Mavericks fans should mark their calendars for January 27th when these two teams face off. The action will unfold live from Atlanta’s State Farm Arena and can be watched nationally on NBA TV or locally via BSSW channel starting at midnight UTC (7 PM Eastern Time).
