The Dallas Mavericks (11-18) fell to the Philadelphia 76ers (16-11) on Saturday night, 121-114. Tyrese Maxey went off for 38 points as the Sixers hammered Dallas in the final quarter. Cooper Flagg and Anthony Davis each scored 24 in defeat for the Mavericks.

Luka Doncic had 35 points as the Los Angeles Lakers downed the Dallas Mavericks and Anthony Davis. Game highlights:

Cooper Flagg’s breakout night vs. Denver earned rare praise from Nikola Jokic, who called the Mavericks rookie “mature.”

The Dallas Mavericks lost to the New Orleans Pelicans 119-113 Monday night in New Orleans, the second-straight loss for the Mavericks after falling to Philadelphia on Saturday.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 33 points and the Oklahoma City Thunder improved to an NBA-best 22-1 on the season with a 132-111 win against the Dallas Mavericks.

Zion Williamson scored 24 points, including 10 straight in a decisive two-minute span of the fourth quarter, to power the New Orleans Pelicans to a 119-113 victory over the Dallas Mavericks, extending the Pelicans' season-long winning streak to five games.

The Memphis Grizzlies picked up their second straight win for the first time this season after beating the Dallas Mavericks.

Cooper Flagg scored the most points by an 18-year-old in NBA history, but he couldn’t enjoy the accomplishment because it came in a loss.

Flagg and Edgecome are members of what has been a great rookie class so far this year, with Charlotte Hornets rookie and Flagg's former Duke teammate Kon Knueppel generating a fringe All-Star campaign in his rookie season, lighting up opponents from beyond the three-point line and showcasing a veteran scoring ability at just 19 years old.

Despite a 47-point third quarter from the Denver Nuggets, the Cooper Flagg-led Dallas Mavericks held strong in the final minutes to secure the win and even the season series.
