Mavs fans should check out the news just before tipoff to catch any late-breaking information.
Storyline to follow: Luka’s first win over Spurs
The Mavericks have not matched up against San Antonio yet this season. Last year, they lost all four games to the Spurs. That means Luka Doncic has never won a game against San Antonio. Expect the 20-year-old star to be hungry to get that first victory on Monday evening.
Doncic will also be looking for his sixth triple-double in the Mavs first 13 games. He is averaging 28.5 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 9.1 assists per game this season. Luka’s transformation into a top-ten talent has been incredible.
The two big matchups of the night will be Kristaps Porzingis against LaMarcus Aldridge and Doncic versus DeMar DeRozan. Both should bring plenty of excitement during the game.
Dallas Mavericks fans should tune in and enjoy the exciting contest on Nov. 18. Please check back to The Smoking Cuban after the game for reactions and analysis as well.
