In the Western Conference, in the middle of a fairly even standings in 9th place, the Mavericks, coached by Jason Kidd, find themselves in the Play-in zone. Without Doncic, but even more worrying with an extensive list of injured players that includes Davis, Washington, Lively II and Gafford, the Mavs still managed to finish February with a positive record where they avoided losing three games in a row.

In the last game when they received the Hornets, they appealed to the skill of Irving who was the top scorer with 25 points backed by Thompson who scored 4 of the 7 three-pointers he shot. They beat the Hornets by 7 points in a game that due to the absence of La Melo Ball, the Mavs started as 10-point favorites in the bookies, failed to cover the spread but improved their record at the American Airlines Center to 19-11.

Now, they will stay in Dallas to wait for Antetokounmpo's Bucks on Saturday, who this season only Gilgeous-Alexander surpasses in points per game. The Greek is averaging 30.9 points in addition to 12.1 rebounds. With a record similar to that of the Mavs, the Bucks have a 33-25 record.
