On the other side, the Dallas Mavericks present a formidable challenge with their home-court advantage at American Airlines Center. Known for their strategic gameplay and star players who can turn the tide of any game, they will not make things easy for Sacramento. However, given SAC's recent performance against teams like Oklahoma City Thunder where despite a loss showed moments of brilliance especially in fast break situations scoring 20 points off fast breaks indicates that when SAC is in motion they're hard to stop.
