Mavericks vs. Spurs Picks & Predictions for PrizePicks Tonight

We have a battle between two NBA teams from Texas tonight as the Dallas Mavericks travel to San Antonio to take on the Spurs Monday night at 8:30 p.m. ET (7:30 p.m. CT). Below, we’ll give you the top player picks and predictions for the Mavericks vs. Spurs showdown on PrizePicks.

Time is running out for both of these teams, and they both will have to fight hard to get into the Play-In Tournament. The Mavericks currently hold the No. 10 seed in the Western Conference, which is the final spot in the Play-In Tournament, while the Spurs are 5.5 games out of that spot, and are now missing star center Victor Wembanyama.

It will be difficult for both teams to make a run down the stretch, as injuries have had huge impacts on both lineups. For the Spurs, Wembanyama is done for the year; for the Mavericks, they just played with six healthy players in a game, as Kyrie Irving is done for the year, while Anthony Davis is still not ready to return.

Mavericks vs. Spurs Game Preview

Time: 8:30 p.m. ET

How To Watch: NBA League Pass

It’s hard to think that there isn’t a bleaker outlook on the future of an NBA franchise than the Mavericks. This team was just in the NBA Finals last season, but management felt like they needed a change. 

The Luka Doncic trade shocked everyone, and it seems nothing has gone right since. The Mavericks already had injury issues before the trade, and it continued afterwards. Dallas received Anthony Davis from the Lakers in the trade and he played 31 minutes before an abdominal strain caused him miss the last month. 

Then, just weeks later, Kyrie Irving, who became their primary scorer, suffered a season-ending ACL tear.

It’s all finally catching up to the team as they have dropped seven of their last eight and are on the brink of being out of the Play-In Tournament. In their previous game against the Suns, they finished that contest with just seven players.

The Spurs also face injury issues that have changed the outlook on the season. They made a huge move to try and help get them to the Playoffs and picked up former Kings G De’Aaron Fox. The duo of Fox and Wembanyama would have been an interesting pair to see develop and possibly make a Playoff run. We will be deprived of Wemby will miss the rest of the season.

They have struggled since losing Wembanyama and are 3-6 in that time. 

For the Mavericks, PG Brandon Williams is a GTD, while PF P.J. Washington will remain out. For the Spurs, both Stephon Castle and Jeremy Sochan are GTD — look for their status closer to game-time.
