Previous head-to-head match was low-scoring. Back then, Mavericks failed to break through the Cavaliers' defense. But this time things might play out differently. Luka Doncic and co put up a fantastic performance in the previous match. Team scored 130 points. We are expecting another strong offensive performance from Kidd's men.
