Predictions Mavericks vs Bucks

Dallas Mavericks Game Notes

The Dallas Mavericks certainly don’t look like a well-organized offensive team. That tends to come with being a Summer League squad. However if they want to tale down the Bucks, they need to find some semblance of offensive rhythm.

In the Mavericks’ blowout loss to the Phoenix Suns the team shot just 33% from the floor and 32% from three-point range. It isn’t as if they had just poor opportunities, but they weren’t able to capitalize at any level.

The Mavericks need to find a win in this game if they want to redeem their performance through this Summer League. It won’t be easy, as the Bucks displayed an impressive offence.

Mavericks Key Player: (G) Jaden Hardy


After putting on a show in his Summer League debut, Jaden Hardy has struggled in successive games. He’s not shooting particularly well, while his playmaking is almost non-existent.

In Dallas’ blowout loss to the Phoenix Suns, Hardy looked well out of form. He posted just 11 points and 6 rebounds in 26 minutes of play. He shot a paltry 4 of 15 from the field, struggling to finish at the rim or from range.

The Mavericks want Hardy to find his early Summer League form when they face the Bucks. Given his athleticism and shooting ability, getting back on track can put Dallas in a winning position.

Milwaukee Bucks Game Notes

The Milwaukee Bucks have been exciting through the NBA Summer League. While they’ve not been the cleanest team to watch, they’ve shown a versatile offence that hosts many different offensive contributors.

In their narrow loss to the Boston Celtics, the Bucks had four different double-digit scorers. Two of those players, Mamukelashvili and Wigginton, combined for 52 of the team’s 109 points.

If the Bucks want to beat the Mavericks they need to do tighten up their defence. They forced 17 turnovers out of the Celtics, but they allowed them to shoot 41.3% from three-point range on 46 attempts.

Bucks Key Player: (F) Sandro Mamukelashvili


The Milwaukee Bucks are severely lacking in certain areas of their game, but the play of Sandro Mamukelashvili has been incredibly promising for the Milwaukee Bucks. With an inside-out game and a willingness to attack, he’s looked excellent.

In the Bucks’ two-point loss to the Boston Celtics, Mamukelashvili posted 28 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks in 31 minutes of play. Not only did he get to the line 10 times, but he also shot 3 of 5 from three-point range.

Mamukelashvili’s offence has been a revelation for the Bucks’ Summer League team, something they hope can translate to the main club. Against Dallas’ leaky defence, Mamukelashvili looks in for another strong game.
