The Dallas Mavericks roll into San Antonio with barely enough players to field a team, yet they're somehow making it work - as evidenced by their gutsy 133-129 victory over these same Spurs just two days ago.
While Dallas rides the hot hands of Spencer Dinwiddie and Klay Thompson, who combined for 54 points in their last meeting, the Spurs' explosive offense leads the NBA in March efficiency despite missing Victor Wembanyama.
The stage is set for an offensive shootout at the Frost Bank Center as the home team Spurs look to snap Dallas' seven-game winning streak in this heated Texas rivalry.

San Antonio Spurs vs. Dallas Mavericks preview
The shorthanded Mavericks head to San Antonio looking to build on Monday's thrilling 133-129 victory, despite having just eight healthy players available for this Western Conference clash.
Dallas has shown remarkable resilience in the face of adversity, with Spencer Dinwiddie stepping up big time - his 28-point performance on Monday highlighted the Mavs' next-man-up mentality.
The Spurs, though struggling defensively this month, have found their offensive groove, leading the NBA in offensive rating through March with Harrison Barnes dropping an efficient 29 points in their last outing.
Keep an eye on Kessler Edwards, who's making the most of his expanded role for Dallas with an impressive double-double (22 points, 11 rebounds) in their previous matchup.
The Spurs' bench could be the x-factor tonight, with Keldon Johnson proving he can light it up as a sixth man after contributing 28 points in Monday's contest.
This Texas rivalry has been all Dallas lately - they've won seven straight against their I-35 neighbors, but San Antonio's red-hot offense might just have something to say about that streak.
With both teams ranking among the league's worst defenses this month, we're likely in for another high-scoring shootout at the Frost Bank Center.
The Mavs' thin rotation will be tested on this quick turnaround, while the Spurs' young guns look hungry to snap their three-game skid on home court.
