Who is the X factor for every NBA player this season? We’re not talking about the go-to guy, like Nikola Jokic or Steph Curry. It could be a big-name player, an all-star, or a bench player, but they are the pivot point for their team.
The Dallas Mavericks held off on contract extensions for a few players before the start of the season, including 2023 first-round picks Dereck Lively II and Marcus Sasser.
I thought we competed at a high level. I thought San Antonio’s ball pressure was ultimately the difference, and they were able to knock a couple loose and convert and transition an open floor, and that fueled even more defensive pressure by them.
The Mavericks hosted the San Antonio Spurs for their home opener Saturday night, but couldn’t send the crowd home happy, on the heels of a 122-106 final score.

DALLAS — Mavericks coach Dusty May said Saturday that Dallas did not decide in advance which night of its back-to-back Kyrie Irving would play. Irving played Friday at Indiana because he was ready to go, May said, and he will sit Saturday’s home opener against the San Antonio Spurs with left knee injury management.
Dusty May scored his first ever win with the Dallas Mavericks and as an NBA coach against the Indiana Pacers as Kyrie Irving poured in 24 points before revealing an ongoing injury situation.
The Dallas Mavericks finally got a win Friday night, and their reward came less than 24 hours later: Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs. Dallas comes home at 1-1 after beating Indiana 121-105, but the win came with a pretty high cost.
After injuring his left shoulder during Friday’s win in Indiana, Mavericks forward Cooper Flagg underwent an MRI, which revealed a mild left shoulder sprain, the team announced today (via Twitter).
