The Wolves travel to Dallas to take on the Mavericks in an early-season back-to-back. The Wolves picked up their first win of the season against the Cavs at home on Friday night and they’ll look to keep their momentum going on the road. The Mavs, meanwhile, are coming off a few days of rest after a season-opening loss to the Suns.
While the Mavs have an exciting young core in Luka Doncic and Dennis Smith Jr., they probably won’t be in playoff contention this year. Nonetheless, they are a dangerous team that plays a fast-paced brand of basketball—that’s dangerous on a back-to-back.
