Mavericks and Bucks Face Off on Saturday
The Dallas Mavericks play host to the Milwaukee Bucks in Orlando on Saturday.

The Bucks (55-14) picked up a big win over the Miami Heat in their last game and that was a huge win with the way this team was playing before. Prior to that, Milwaukee lost five of their previous six games. It appears that this club is just coasting to the finish line, locking up the top-seed in the Eastern Conference a while back. That means that these games are all about finding a rhythm and it's clear this club has some work to do in that category. With all that said, this is still one of the most dangerous teams in the NBA and will be a heavy favorite to take down the east. Giannis Antetokounmpo looks well on his way to another MVP Award as well, his second-straight.

The Mavericks (41-30) are also struggling right now, losing five of their last seven games in total. Where they're really falling apart is on the defensive end, allowing over 120 points per game in those losses. That's going to happen with a guy like Luka Doncic out there but he does plenty to make up for it on the offensive end. In fact, he's averaging 29 points, 9.4 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game for the season. He actually had a 30-20-10 game just a few days ago and a performance like that is truly scary for such a young player. He pairs beautifully with Kristaps Porzingis, who has also been one of the best players in the Orlando restart.

Dallas won the first and only matchup between these teams, 120-116.
