Dallas Mavericks vs. San Antonio Spurs storyline to follow: Looking to make history

The Mavericks have won the first two meetings against the Spurs this season. Luka Doncic had a 36-point triple-double as Dallas defeated the Spurs in San Antonio in January. The win was impressive as the Mavs were without Josh Richardson, Maxi Kleber, Dorian Finney-Smith, and Dwight Powell. Dallas dominated the Spurs in early March as Doncic narrowly missed a triple-double.

The Mavericks are looking to sweep the Spurs in a season series for the first time in franchise history on Sunday night. According to Land of Basketball, Dallas has come close of multiple occasions but never pulled off the feat. Can they complete it on April 11?

Expect Luka Doncic to be firing on all cylinders as the Dallas Mavericks look for the 30th win of the season. Do not miss this battle between division rivals.
