What to Know
The Mavericks will be playing the full four quarters on Monday, but they’re expected to have things wrapped up well before that. They will be playing at home against the Washington Wizards at 8:30 p.m. ET at American Airlines Center. The Wizards are crawling into this matchup hobbled by six consecutive losses, while the Mavericks will bounce in with four consecutive wins.
Winning is just a little bit easier when your shooting is a whole 19.5% better than the opposition, a fact the Mavericks proved on Saturday. They really took it to Oklahoma City for the full four quarters, racking up a 146-111 victory at home. With that win, the Mavericks brought their scoring average up to 118.8 points per game.
The Mavericks’ win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Luka Doncic, who almost dropped a double-double on 32 points and nine assists. Doncic has been hot recently, having posted 32 or more points the last three times he’s played. Kyrie Irving was another key contributor, scoring 25 points along with eight assists and six rebounds.
Meanwhile, the Wizards and the 76ers couldn’t quite live up to the 243.5-over/under that the experts had forecasted. Washington took a 119-113 hit to the loss column at the hands of the 76ers. The defeat unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for the Wizards in their matchups with the 76ers: they’ve now lost five in a row.
The losing side was boosted by Tyus Jones, who shot 6-for-8 from long range and almost dropped a double-double on 25 points and nine assists. He continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last five games he’s played.
Dallas’ win bumped their record up to 30-23. As for Washington, they dropped their record down to 9-43 with that loss, which was their 13th straight at home.
This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: The Mavericks haven’t given up the ball easily this season, having only averaged 11.9 turnovers per game. However, it’s not like the Wizards struggle in that department as they’ve been averaging only 13.4 turnovers per game. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
The Mavericks beat the Wizards 130-117 in their previous matchup back in November of 2023. Do the Mavericks have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Wizards turn the tables on them? We’ll have the answer soon enough.

Morton started 15 games in 1972 for an injured Staubach, who eventually returned in the playoffs. The Cowboys decided to trade Morton in 1974 to the Giants, who sent back a first-round pick, which turned out to be the No. 2 overall pick in 1975. The Cowboys used that selection to take Randy White, a 10-time Pro Bowler and future Hall of Famer.
Ironically enough, White’s best game was likely Super Bowl XII, when he was named Co-MVP with Harvey Martin. The Cowboys’ Doomsday defense dominated the Broncos, who were quarterbacked by Morton.
Overall, Morton played for the Cowboys, Giants and Broncos before officially retiring at the end of the 1982 season.
His career ended with 27,908 passing yards, ranking him 71st in NFL history, just ahead of Hall of Famer Joe Namath (27,663).
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.
