The NBA 2025-26 season continues on February 5, 2026, with a crucial Southwest Division clash at the American Airlines Center, Dallas, where the Dallas Mavericks host the in-form San Antonio Spurs.
This matchup comes at a difficult moment for Dallas. Just after the trade deadline, the Mavericks have lost multiple key players and are dealing with heavy injuries. San Antonio, meanwhile, arrive in strong rhythm and already dominated Dallas once this season at the same venue. On paper, this looks like a tough night for the home side.

Key Player Stats (Season Focus)
Dallas Mavericks
| Player | Season Impact |
|---|---|
| Cooper Flagg | 20.1 PPG, 6.7 RPG, 4.2 APG |
| Naji Marshall | High rebounding and assist usage |
| Team Note | Offense affected after trade, thin frontcourt |
Flagg remains the focal point for Dallas, but the lack of experienced support around him has made scoring late in games difficult.
San Antonio Spurs
| Player | Season Impact |
|---|---|
| Victor Wembanyama | 24.0 PPG, 11.1 RPG, elite rim protection |
| De’Aaron Fox | 19.7 PPG, fast-paced playmaking |
| Stephon Castle | 16.5 PPG, strong secondary creator |
| Keldon Johnson | Efficient scoring, high energy |
San Antonio’s depth and two-way efficiency continue to separate them from struggling teams.

Mavericks vs Spurs Match Prediction

San Antonio Spurs 118 – 106 Dallas Mavericks
or
San Antonio Spurs 116 – 110 Dallas Mavericks
Dallas may compete early with energy, but San Antonio’s depth and defense should take control as the game progresses.
Best Picks
- San Antonio Spurs Moneyline – Clear talent and form advantage
- Spurs -6.5 / -7.5 – First meeting showed a major mismatch
- Naji Marshall Over 9.5 Rebounds + Assists – Increased role after trades
- Keldon Johnson Over 1.5 Made Threes – Dallas allowing high 3PT percentage
- Under 222.5 Points – Thin Dallas rotation limits scoring consistency
Same Game Parlay Idea:
Spurs ML + Marshall Over 9.5 R+A + Johnson Over 1.5 Threes
This game highlights two teams moving in opposite directions. San Antonio are stable, deep, and confident, while Dallas are rebuilding on the fly after a chaotic trade deadline. With multiple starters unavailable for the Mavericks, it will be difficult to contain Wembanyama and the Spurs’ balanced offense.
Unless Dallas produce an unexpected defensive effort, San Antonio should control this matchup and secure another comfortable division win.
