The Mavericks have caused some big upsets this season, including handing Houston their only loss of the season. Can they cause another upset in San Antonio?<\/p>\n
It’s a Battle of Texas, and the Mavericks have gone under the radar as a bit of a surprise packet this season, despite their most recent loss to the Kings.<\/p>\n
At 4-3, the Kyrie and Flagg combination for Dallas can do some serious damage, as demonstrated in wins over the Thunder and Rockets.<\/p>\n
The Spurs haven’t quite hit their straps this season, but still sit 5-2 led by Wemby and Dylan Harper.<\/p>\n
He was awful in his first two games of the NBA season, but Daniel Gafford’s form has turned the corner and the big man is playing solid minutes.<\/p>\n
Gafford is averaging 26 minutes per game from his last five, resulting in an average PR of 21.6, and he has hit 16+ PR in all five games, including a 20-point and 7-rebound game last start against the Kings.<\/p>\n
He had 12 points and 9 rebounds when he faced the Spurs earlier in the season.<\/p>\n
Last year’s Sixth Man winner had a terrible playoff series, but Keldon Johnson’s minutes are back up in his bench role for the Spurs this season, and he’s posting solid numbers.<\/p>\n
Johnson is averaging 9.3 points and 5.6 rebounds per game to start his 2026-27 campaign and has hit 12+ PR in six of his seven games.<\/p>\n
He was quiet in his game against the Mavs earlier this season, but still managed a PR of 13.<\/p>\n
He’s an absolute jet, and we’re starting to see some well-rounded numbers from Harper over the last few games.<\/p>\n
From his last ten games, which include the NBA Finals, Harper is averaging a PRA of 29.3 and has hit 25+ PRA in all ten games.<\/p>\n
Two starts ago against the Timberwolves, Harper had 25 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. He’s on the brink of a triple double.<\/p>\n
