In their most recent game against the Denver Nuggets, the Mavericks secured a narrow victory with a final score of 107-105. Their performance was marked by an impressive paint presence where they scored 62 points, showcasing their ability to penetrate defenses effectively. Additionally, they capitalized on second-chance opportunities by scoring 23 points from such plays.


However, turnovers have been a concern for Dallas; in that same game against Denver, they committed a total of 12 turnovers. This is an area where improvement is needed if they want to maintain control against Sacramento.

Looking back further at their performance against Oklahoma City Thunder and Golden State Warriors reveals some inconsistencies but also areas of strength. Against the Thunder, despite putting up a strong fight with 119 points and showing excellent free-throw accuracy at around eighty-one percent, turnovers once again proved costly as they gave up possession nineteen times leading to twenty points for Oklahoma City.


Against the Warriors though, Dallas showcased defensive tenacity with thirteen blocks contributing to an eighteen-point lead during the game – their largest over these three games analyzed. They also demonstrated efficient shooting from inside with sixty-nine percent success on two-point attempts.
