Player Matchups to Watch
This rematch spotlights generational talents, with Wembanyama’s dominance in the paint against Flagg’s scoring prowess. San Antonio’s backcourt depth could exploit Dallas’ injury-hit guards, while the Mavericks’ new additions face a tough defensive test.
- Cooper Flagg (DAL) vs. Victor Wembanyama (SAS): Flagg’s recent 32-point explosion meets Wemby’s all-around game (24.1 PPG, 11.0 RPG, 3.5 BPG). Expect blocks and dunks in this rookie showdown.
- Naji Marshall (DAL) vs. Harrison Barnes (SAS): Marshall’s 32-point outburst could challenge Barnes (efficient scoring, 19 PPG in last win).
- Tyus Jones (DAL, if available) vs. De’Aaron Fox (SAS, if available): Jones’ playmaking vs. Fox’s speed (17 PPG, clutch 3s); a guard battle if both play.
- Other Notes: Stephon Castle (18 PPG off bench) could exploit Mavs’ thin perimeter; Daniel Gafford vs. Luke Kornet in the paint if Kornet plays.
