Cooper Flagg will play Friday night in Portland.

Before tip-off Monday night, Naji Marshall kept it simple when asked what the Dallas Mavericks needed to do against Golden State. "Rebound, get out in transition, and take care of the ball," Marshall told Dallas Hoops Journal. He also spoke about what needed to carry over from the previous game...

Jason Kidd emphasized before tip-off that taking care of the ball was the number one priority against a Toronto defense built to pressure and push pace. His team turned it over 19 times. The Dallas Mavericks fell 122-92 to the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night at Scotiabank Arena, the largest...

Cooper Flagg was back. For the better part of 26 minutes Thursday night at Kia Center, the Dallas Mavericks looked like a different team. Then Wendell Carter Jr. caught a pass from Jalen Suggs and slammed home a dunk with 1.4 seconds left, and the Orlando Magic walked away with...
