Teams Preview

Minnesota Timberwolves

The Minnesota Timberwolves had their four game winning streak snapped at home on Saturday night, as the Denver Nuggets handed them a 123-112 loss. The Wolves fall to 8-5 for the season and are currently 3rd in the Northwest Division.

Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle tried their best to secure a W for Minnesota, finishing the night on identical points. Ant-Man had 26 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists while Randle tallied 26 points, 6 boards and 8 dimes. However, this just wasn’t enough against a Nuggets squad determined to get to double figures in wins for the season.

The T-Wolves are averaging 120.7 PPG this season (7th in the NBA), shooting 50.0% from the floor. They are also placed 4th in 3P% with 39.1%. Minnesota has been averaging 42.4 RPG and 26.4 APG during the course of the 2025-26 campaign. On the defensive side of things, the Timberwolves average 8.2 SPG and 5.6 BPG (No.7 in the Association). Minnesota had two close wins against the Mavs at American Airlines Center last season, while dropping one at home.

Dallas Mavericks

The Dallas Mavericks slid further down the NBA standings, on the back of a demoralising 127-133 double overtime loss to the Clippers on Friday night. The Mavs are 0-2 in the NBA Cup and now fall to 3-10 on the season, finding themselves 4th in the Southwest Division.

Naji Marshall had 28 points and 8 rebounds in a losing effort. D’Angelo Russell was a microwave off the bench, finishing with 28 points, 6 boards and 5 dimes. Dallas was careless with the basketball, committing 22 turnovers while getting pickpocketed 16 times on the night.

The Mavericks have been averaging 109.2 PPG (27th in the NBA) in the 2025-26 season, converting 44.7% (25th in the NBA) of their baskets. Long distance shooting is another area of concern for the Mavs with them making only 30.1% (29th in the league) of threes taken. They average 45.1 RPG (12th in the Association) and 24.1 APG. Defensively, Dallas is averaging 8.8 SPG (12th in the league) and 6.1 BPG (3rd in the NBA). The Mavs managed to win only one out of three against the T-Wolves in the 2024-25 season.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs Dallas Mavericks Match Prediction & Analysis

The 2025-26 campaign for the Dallas Mavericks has been derailed by injuries. With key players sidelined, Jason Kidd has found it difficult to find a winning combination. The Timberwolves, on the other hand, are starting to turn their season around. They did, however, lose at Target Center on Saturday night, and would be looking to make amends in their upcoming clash. The game is scheduled on Nov 18th at 6:30 AM IST.
