The Dallas Mavericks (15-12) are coming off an embarrassing loss to the lowly Phoenix Suns as they look to right the ship against the young, talented and downright good Sacramento Kings (15-13).
Fortunately for the Mavericks this game will be played in the safe harbors of the American Airlines Center where Dallas is 13-2. The 13 wins at home is the second most in the entire NBA behind only the Philadelphia 76ers 14 victories.
It’s the first matchup of these two teams that picked in the top five in the NBA draft.
