A couple of televised games on ESPN tonight. The first one is between the Hawks and Mavericks. Not too exciting but at least theres Luka and Trae.
Speaking of the Dallas Mavericks, Luka Doncic is reportedly pushing the Mavericks to be active in the trade market before the trade deadline.
He badly wants an upgrade and that's no secret even to the community.
Mavericks are not that really good at getting a good role player in the market. They are just trusting the process. And as I noticed, they are just always active in doing trades, not before the trading deadline but in the off-season. Let's see the action of Mark Cuban here and the whole Mavericks to Doncic's request.
Who will be traded? That's the question. There are so many inconsistent players on their roster and the Mavericks management should listen to Luka Doncic on this part. He is the playmaker, he knows what is missing. If there's someone who has great usage to him, it's Dwight Powell. Stats-wise, he ain't registering good numbers but upon watching that guy, there's the activity on screens and tapping the ball back outside for an offensive rebound.
I find the first game more exciting than the Wolves vs Nuggets game because honestly, I am not expecting that it will be a close game, most likely, the Nuggets will just dominate again and will win by a huge margin. Well, I hope I'm wrong though so we will see an exciting game.
The Timberwolves actually fighting back.
Both teams are weak on the defensive end but they can put in a high amount of points due to their offensive powers. I think the winner will be those who will play harder defense and try more stops to gain a good run.
Minnesota is on the lead to start the 3rd quarter.
