The Dallas Mavericks (24-56) travel to the City of Brotherly Love to take on the Philadelphia 76ers (49-30) in a rare Mavericks Sunday afternoon game. The Mavericks’ head-to-head series against the Sixers serves as bookends to the season; the Mavericks first hosted Philly in the seventh game of the season, a game the Mavericks lost 112-110.
Though these teams are facing opposite realities, this game is of equal importance for both squads. Philadelphia, riding a 13-game win streak, currently sits in third in the Eastern Conference standings (a half game ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers).
