The San Antonio Spurs (35-16) face off against the struggling Dallas Mavericks (19-32) on February 7, 2026, as they seek to exploit the Mavericks’ poor offensive performance and recent injuries, including Kyrie Irving and Derrick Lively II. The Spurs have previously defeated the Mavericks twice this season, showcasing their efficiency despite some injury concerns. Key players to watch include Spurs’ Stephon Castle, expected to dominate regardless of his starting role, and top pick Cooper Flagg for the Mavericks. With both teams needing to maintain pace, the matchup promises intensity, especially given the Texas rivalry.
