Mavericks vs Spurs

Victor Wembanyama was on a tear (before being ruled out for the season after the All Star Game) for the Spurs, who are stuggling without their star center, while the Mavericks have turned into a wholly different team. With Luka Doncic gone to the Lakers and Anthony Davis out, San Antonio remains confident thanks to Devin Vassell’s strong return from a minor issue.
