Dallas Wings will lock horns against Denver Nuggets in NBA 2021-22 on Tuesday, 04 January 2022 at 07:00 AM IST
When Doncic was gone, the biggest issue for the Mavericks was closing out games after remaining close all contest long.
This singular issue could have helped them secure a 22-14 record instead of an 18-18 record as of now.
Doncic is superb at hitting late-game shots and putting more pressure on the opposition. The Mavericks offensive and defensive schemes are solid, they are well-coached and the combination of Doncic, Porzingis, Brunson, and Hardaway Jr.
gives them four solid inside and outside players. The Mavericks have superb defenders in Bullock, Finney-Smith, and Powell while the play of replacement player Marquisse Chriss has been no less impressive.
Overall, the Mavericks may not have that much depth at wing or off-guard but they have a solid-looking lineup that can hold down both ends regularly
Earlier in the season, I constantly lamented the lack of support from other players to Jokic especially with defensive stalwart Michael Porter Jr.
down with an injury. However, Monte Morris and Facundo Campazzo first stepped up to fill the void of Jamal Murray to a certain extent while Aaron Gordon showed immense improvements in terms of scoring compared to earlier in the season.
The bench is suspect at times with little to no depth in the frontline but the team has battled on, riding the prime accumulation of their Superstar Center Nikola Jokic.
It is true that Nikola has continued to shoulder the major load but one other thing is also true, the Nuggets have found different actors who have stepped up their game and with Will Barton acting as the second playmaker apart from Jokic, if the Nuggets fix the defensive end, they will win 63-67% of their upcoming games(IN MY HUMBLEOPINION).
