Monday, December 16 the Dallas Mavericks face the Milwaukee Bucks for the first time in the 2019-20 season.
Last season, the squads played twice and Milwaukee won both games. The Bucks hold the all-time record having bested the Mavericks in 41 of their 75 matches.
Dallas Mavericks
The next week or two will be a big test for the Dallas Mavericks who currently sit in third in the Western Conference but will be without their sophomore superstar Luka Doncic who badly twisted his ankle in the last game versus the Miami Heat.

Despite losing Donic in the first quarter the Mavericks battled the Heat ultimately succumbing in overtime 118-122. In the loss, five Mavericks hit double-figure scoring. The other superstar Kristaps Porzingis stepped up to deliver a double-double of 22 points and 14 rebounds.
Tim Hardaway Jr. led the team with 28 points while the trio of Jalen Bruson (18), Maxi Kleber (17), and J.J. Barea (12) each chipped in with double-figure efforts.
Luka Doncic leads the Mavericks in five categories including scoring (29.3 points), assists (8.9), rebounds (9.6), field goal percent (48.1%) and steals (1.2) per game. The lone key category he isn’t leading belongs to his new running mate Kristaps Porzingis which is blocks (2.0).
Doncic ankle was assessed as an injury that will keep the youngster out for a week or two with a late December return date the initial projection.
Milwaukee Bucks
Inexplicably the Bucks will benefit from the absence of yet another team’s top player as they have already this season versus the Heat (Butler), Wolves (Towns), Clippers (Leonard and Paul), Jazz (Gobert), Thunder (Adams), Pacers (Brogdon and Oladipo), Blazers (Lillard), Pistons (Griffin), Magic (Vucevic) and Grizzlies (Morant).
That’s 10 games where the Bucks haven’t needed to game plan for the top scorer or best defender in the case of Gobert and Adams.
[dfads params=’groups=20599&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
The difference in this match will be Milwaukee will be without Eric Bledsoe who suffered an injury versus the Grizzlies and will miss the next two weeks.
In the victory over the Cavaliers, the Bucks distributed the scoring among six players who reached double-figures. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way as per usual with 29 points, four rebounds and four assists but logged just 23:59 playing time.
Khris Middleton (24), Robin Lopez (16), Donte DiVincenzo (15), George Hill (11) and Ersan Ilyasova (11) were the players who contributed double-digit efforts.
On the season Giannis Antetokounmpo leads three team categories for the Bucks including scoring (31.0), rebounding and (12.8), and field goal percentage (56.3%). The other categories are led by Eric Bledsoe (assists: 5.7), Donte DiVincenzo (steals 1.5) and Brook Lopez (blocks: 2.3).
The specific injury Eric Bledsoe suffered was a right fibula avulsion fracture which will keep him out for two weeks. Dragan Bender is dealing with a right ankle sprain which kept him out the past four games and will again on Monday.
