Standout Performers & Turning Points

Mavericks star guard: Expect a heavy on-ball workload—high usage in spread pick-and-roll, hunting mismatches above the break and snaking into mid-range pull-ups.
Spurs franchise big: Rim pressure + playmaking from the elbows should anchor San Antonio’s half-court; watch for high-low seals and early duck-ins in transition.
Wing depth: Dallas’s 3-and-D rotation could swing the game if they contain dribble penetration and stay attached to shooters in the corners.
Bench spark: San Antonio’s second unit needs a scoring jolt; if they win the non-star minutes, momentum flips fast.
Tactical pivot to watch: If Dallas targets switches with empty-corner PnR, San Antonio may counter by showing early help from the nail and scram-switching the post.

Lineups & Shape (if confirmed)

Official starters will be added once verified. Expect Dallas to open with a guard-driven alignment flanked by rangy wings and a stretch-capable big. San Antonio should mirror with length and pace, leveraging five-out spacing to free the primary creator on handoffs and ghost screens.

Expect clutch-time shot-making to matter; Spurs vs Mavericks Live often comes down to who executes cleaner in the final four minutes.
