The tanking will get going as the Mavs are in town. A reunion game with Dinwiddie and Bertans making their first return to DC since the trade deadline shocker. Dinwiddie has been a different player in his new role as pesudo 6th man or off guard playing next to Luka the Don. It's safe to say the Bullets had miscast him and Coach Unseld as a rookie HC was in over his head on how to utilize him. Spencer is now shooting near 50% and close to 40% from 3 since arriving in Big D.
Bertans? Well, he still stinks.
This will also be the Unicorn's first game against his team of the past 3 seasons. Coach Kidd was using him a little differently than Carlisle this year and the Mavs found their groove after January 1. Of course, Porzingis got hurt and missed time. He has been pretty good in a Bullets uniform and coming off a 35 point effort against Orlando.
The Bullets won the first meeting in Dallas. Bradley Beal had a stellar outing. Luka got hurt and was carrying too much weight both figuratively and literally at the time.
The coaching difference and the talent difference means Dallas wins this one going away which is good for the tank
