Sunday, April 10th finds the San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks playing for the fourth and final time this season.
Dallas is seeking the regular-season sweep of their Southwest Division rival having won the three prior matches on October 28th (104-99) plus November 3rd (109-108) and 12th (123-109).
The Spurs are completing a back-to-back set having lost 100-94 to the Warriors on Saturday while the Mavericks played Friday absolutely thumping the Blazers 128-78.
Last season, the squads played three times with the Mavericks winning two of the three contests. The Spurs hold the all-time record having bested the Mavericks in 114 of their 190 matches.
San Antonio Spurs
Gregg Popovich and his youngsters put on a solid closing stretch winning seven of eight but then stumbled in their last two matches when they needed those wins to move ahead of the Pelicans.
By virtue of the losses to the Wolves and Warriors, they will have to hit the road for the nine-ten seeded play-in single-elimination game.
This match is really about rhythm and perhaps rising star Dejounte Murray giving one last look at his stellar qualities as he’s become one of the top contenders to win the Most Improved Player award this year.
He appeared in 67 games posting averages of 21.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 9.3 assists, 2.0 steals, and shot 4.3 deep balls per game at a 33.3 percent efficiency.
Every single stat category was an improvement on his 2020-21 season production.
Jakob Poeltl (back), Murray (conditioning), Keldon Johnson (knee), and Devin Vassell (heel) are all questionable for Sunday. Doug McDermott (ankle) is lost for the season.
Dallas Mavericks
In a dramatic turn of events, the league rescinded the technical foul assessed to Luka Doncic in the last match which means he can play in this very important game.
A win by the Mavericks and loss by the Warriors would move them up a rung into the third seed but in truth, the way the Jazz are playing Dallas might be better served to stay where they are.
Of course, the negative spin on that is they’d have to face the Suns in the second round instead of in the Western Conference Finals (should they win both those series).
Then again, they split the season series versus the Jazz, while they beat the Nuggets 3-1 so that may also be a compelling reason to move up to the third seed.
Frank Ntilikina (illness) and Marquese Chriss (illness) are questionable while Maxi Kleber (ankle) is out on Sunday. Tim Hardaway Jr.(foot) is out indefinitely.

Free San Antonio Spurs vs. Dallas Mavericks NBA Prediction:
If you catch the Mavericks looking up throughout this game it will be because they’re checking out the score in the Warriors – Pelicans match which is set to start in concert with their tip-off.
San Antonio has nothing at stake other than keeping players in rhythm and perhaps helping out Pops good friend Steve Kerr so we’ll see how hard they compete to upset the Mavericks.
With Murray expected to play I like the Spurs to keep it closer than the 10 point spread
