Our betting advice and insightful recommendations are accurate and based on a number of factors. Our
basketball betting sites
provide you with a deeper look into the history between the two teams, their updated stats, and the head-to-head records so you can make your pick and place your bet with confidence.
Mavericks Miss Qualification Playoffs with an 11th Place Finish
22/23 was a season to forget for the Dallas Mavericks as they finished 11th and missed the qualification playoffs by one position. This was their lowest finish in the last four years. In the previous three years, Dallas had made the playoffs by finishing 4th, 5th and 7th.
The Mavericks won 38 out of 82 matches last season, losing 44. Their defensive performance was poor throughout the season. With 3.7 blocks per game, the Dallas Mavericks were 28th out of the 30 teams. They will look for a better start to their season against the Timberwolves on 5th October.
Timberwolves Make Qualification Playoffs Second Year Running with an 8th Place Finish
Timberwolves have been on an upward trajectory over the last couple of seasons, managing to make the playoffs in both of their last two seasons. Last season, Timberwolves managed to win 42 out of their 82 games, averaging 92.6 points per game.
As well as having a decent offensive record, the Timberwolves have one of the best defensive records with 5.2 blocks and 7 steals per game. The Timberwolves eventually lost in the playoffs round of 16 against the Nuggets, who went on to become the Western Conference playoff winners. Timberwolves will begin their campaign against the Mavericks on 5th October.
Head to Head
Since 2004, Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves have played each other 66 times, with Dallas winning 43 and Timberwolves falling behind with just 23 victories. In those 66 games, Dallas averaged 103.8 points per game, while the Timberwolves could only manage 100 points per game.
However, the head-to-head tells a completely different story if we look at the recent clashes between the two teams. Timberwolves have dominated the Mavericks, winning 3 out of the last 5 matches against them. Minnesota’s recent form and their brilliant defensive record give them a chance in their upcoming clash.
