Teams Preview

Dallas Mavericks

The runners up of last season will be looking to finally register a win this preseason when they square off against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Dallas Mavericks were beaten for a third straight pre-season game against the Los Angeles Clippers at the Intuit Dome on Tuesday.

In a back-and-forth first half that saw several lead changes, the Mavericks remained within five points of their opponents. However, a 15-0 run in the third quarter effectively ended their chances of winning the game.

Klay Thompson, who was taking part in his second game as a Maverick, was tasked with leading the offensive unit in the absence of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. However, he could have hardly put in a worse performance than he did.  In the preseason so far, the Mavericks have averaged 104.7 points per game with 44% of the field goals being made. That said, it remains to be seen as to how their fourth preseason game plays out.  

Milwaukee Bucks

As mentioned earlier, the Milwaukee Bucks had a rather disappointing start to the preseason after suffering a loss against the Detroit Pistons. In their second preseason game, the Bucks lost to the LA Lakers at home. However, they were able to bounce back with a victory over the Chicago Bulls. 

The team has underperformed when it comes to scoring and have averaged 100 points per game in their three preseason games so far with 41.3% of their field goals being made.

Antetokounmpo has been used in a limited capacity so far. However, he was given extended minutes last time out. Unsurprisingly, he finished as the leading scorer with 24 points, four more than Damian Lillard.

Ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks' exciting NBA season opener clash against the Philadelphia 76ers next Thursday, the former champions will look to close out their pre-season campaign on a winning note against the Mavericks side who are currently on a five-game losing streak in this fixture.

Winning Prediction

Despite losing their three preseason games so far, the Dallas Mavericks are heading into their game against Milwaukee Bucks as favourites. Bucks are considerable underdogs at the moment and the Mavericks should be able to finish their preseason run with a victory. The matchup will most likely be a close contest as both teams are using their star players in regulation, however, the home side should walk away with a victory.
