The Dallas Mavericks absolutely evaporated the Utah Jazz by a score of 144-122 in a game that was never close.

3 things after Dallas dimantled Utah, 144-122
This game had all the warning signs that it was going to get extremely ugly for someone. Both teams are on the end of a back-to-back, both teams are nursing draft picks, and both teams are without a large chunk of their roster. Dallas went so far as to sign a 10-day player today, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, earlier in the day, and even he got some run.
Klay Thompson and Naji Marshall, two of Dallas’ only available regular rotation players, led the way, scoring 26 and 22 points, respectively.
Dallas plays Utah again on Saturday, so with any luck, we’ll get something a little more competitive.
Moussa Cisse scored his first career double-double, putting up 10 points and 13 rebounds. And he was able to hit those numbers in just 23 minutes played. A tidy and efficient night for the big man. He was a perfect 4-of-4 from the floor.
While still just playing on his two-way deal signed at the start of the season, is proving to be one of Dallas’ more reliable bigs, at least health-wise. Dwight Powell got the start, but with Anthony Davis and Daniel Gafford sidelined for the near future and Derek Lively out for the season, Cisse has played very well when called upon, and finished tonight with his best game yet.
It didn’t take long for Klay Thompson to hit the second of his six 3-pointers, and it moved him into the fourth spot for 3-pointers made all-time. Klay passed Damien Lillard and is now sitting at 2,809 made threes in his career.
Next on the list would be Ray Allen, who sits at third with 2,973.
His future with the team remains up in the air, but it was pretty cool to see him hit a big milestone in a Dallas jersey.
Let Dwight Powell shoot a three
Dwight Powell didn’t take a single three-point attempt. Outside of Cisse, every other Mav attempted a 3-point field goal.
There was a time – the 2018-19 season, where Dwight Powell, after ramping up with 85 3-pointers attempted the previous season, and 74 attempts the season before that, attempted a career-high 127 threes. He was making a concerted effort to add the long-ball to his skillset a la Broke Lopez, aka, Splash Mountain.
If we want the longest tenured Maverick to stick around as long as possible, it’s not too late to try to integrate that back into his game. He’s only 34, a young man. And with Dallas set to play Utah again, I say let Powell take all the threes he wants next game.
With the official NFL schedule coming this week, the Dallas Cowboys have revealed when, where and against who their Week 1 contest will be.
The Cowboys announced that they will square off against the New York Giants on the road in Week 1, with the game set for Sunday, Sept. 13, at 7:20 p.m. CT. So, it’s prime time for the Cowboys to start the season.
This is the second game we know about for the Cowboys this year. Of course, we know they will be playing on Thanksgiving, also.
The official schedule will drop on May 14, the NFL announced last week. Schedules for all 32 teams will be revealed on ESPN and the NFL Network, but each team will unveil its own schedule on social media, also.
The Cowboys were always likely to play a road game in Week 1 because of an Usher and Chris Brown concert taking place at AT&T Stadium that week.
Dallas will also be impacted by an Ed Sheeran concert in Week 7, so that’s another potential road game. They could also play on Monday or Thursday that week, or have a bye.
Cowboys’ strength of schedule
According to Warren Sharp of Sharp Football Analysis, the Cowboys are not going to have an easy road to make the postseason.
The Cowboys have the fourth-toughest schedule in the NFL going into the 2026 season, with only the Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins and Carolina Panthers having tougher slates.
Dallas’ schedule is also the third-toughest in the NFC, and the most difficult in the NFC East.
Sharp does his strength of schedule rankings based on win totals from Vegas oddsmakers rather than utilizing the previous season’s records because that metric doesn’t factor in offseason changes.
The Cowboys will play home games against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers, Tennessee Titans, Baltimore Ravens, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders.
On the road, Dallas will square off against the Giants, Eagles, Commanders, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers.
Of those opponents, seven of them made the postseason in 2025, a list that includes the Jaguars, 49ers, Eagles, Texans, Rams, Seahawks and Packers.
All of those teams should be as good in 2026, and teams like the Colts, Titans, Ravens, Bucs, Giants and Commanders have a very real chance to be improved as well.
It won’t be an easy road for Dallas to get back to the playoffs in 2026, but there’s at least hope following a defensive overhaul.

Dallas weather: May 10 morning forecast
Today is by far our most active day of the extended forecast. After our Red River Counties got some severe storms overnight, we expect a mostly quiet morning. Isolated storms are expected to start forming just after noon. The severe threat begins mid-afternoon in a more scattered fashion, before a cold front ushers in widespread rain and strong storms this evening.
DALLAS – A powerful cold front sweeping across North and Central Texas on Monday is expected to trigger a wave of severe thunderstorms capable of producing large hail, dangerous winds, and isolated flash flooding.
Severe weather in North Texas
Timeline:
The National Weather Service in Fort Worth warned that while showers and storms will begin developing Monday morning, the risk of severe weather will peak during the afternoon and evening hours as the front advances southward.
We are tracking two distinct phases of the storm system. Initial storms are expected to be “discrete,” or individual cells, which carry a high risk of large hail exceeding 2 inches in diameter. As the evening progresses, these individual storms are forecast to merge into a large cluster or broken line.
Once the storms consolidate, the primary threat will shift toward damaging straight-line winds. Forecasters warned that wind gusts could exceed 70 to 75 mph, speeds capable of downing trees, damaging roofs, and causing power outages.
In addition to the wind and hail threats, the system is expected to dump significant amounts of water. While most areas will see standard rainfall, there is a 10% to 15% chance that some locations could receive up to 4 inches of rain. Isolated flash flooding can happen over these locations.
Live Radar
We are watching how morning activity near the Red River might influence the speed of the cold front. The exact position of that front will be the primary factor in determining where the most intense storms initiate.
Residents are encouraged to monitor local forecasts and have multiple ways to receive weather warnings throughout the evening.
The front is expected to push through the region by Tuesday morning.
