Episode Notes

The Dallas Mavericks ended their 10-game losing streak with a strong win over the Indiana Pacers, proving they’re not looking to out-tank other NBA teams. With Cooper Flagg sitting out, the Mavs showed resilience and determination, while performances from Kyrie Irving and strong contributions from Khris Middleton, PJ Washington, and other key players fueled the victory.

Hosted by Nick Angstadt (@NickVanExit) & Slightly Biased (Slightly Biased), this episode of Locked On Mavs dives deep into how the Dallas Mavericks managed their rotation amid a crowded injury report and why Jason Kidd continues to play impactful lineups. The hosts analyze performances from Klay Thompson, Daniel Gafford, Marvin Bagley, Naji Marshall, PJ Washington, Dereck Lively II, and discuss the impact of front office figures like Patrick Dumont and the possibility of roster changes. Listeners are taken through what this win means for the rest of the Mavs’ season, the NBA Draft tanking landscape, and the future of Cooper Flagg and the current roster.
