the official NBA stats is unmistakable when it comes to the offensive of the guests! Because over the last 10 NBA games, the Timberwolves have looked a lot like the Harlem Globetrotters on the way up! An average of 115.0 points per game is the fourth best result in the league over this period!
All the more surprising that Ja Morant and his team crashed into the Mavs just under a week ago. Because when it went bust went on the offensive not much with only 85 points. According to an old football adage, you are only as good as your opponent allows you to be.
This saying fits like a glove to explain what went wrong in the last meeting. Because if the Mavs can do anything, it’s put up a burglar-proof defense – and they proved it impressively a week ago.

The Mavs defense, directed by center Dwight Powell, knows how to read opponents early. She was also able to take down Ja Morant in their last encounter – which, by the way, usually automatically results in a win over the Grizzlies!
But the Mavericks certainly didn’t save their defensive skills just for this match. During the last ten games, they only allowed an average of 97 points, which is an excellent indicator of their defensive behavior.
For comparison: Memphis is offensively strong, but has seen over the same period an average of 13 points more allowed per game. But Dallas’ strengths also include other qualities that will also plague the guests.
