The Mavericks returned home to beat Utah, 112-100, Brooklyn, 130-93, and Indiana, 125-122.
Minnesota Timberwolves Riding Four-Game Win Streak
Minnesota come into this matchup on a season-best run that has seen them win four straight games to improve to 8-3.
The Timberwolves kicked off the campaign with three straight wins, only to then cool off as they were beaten 127-125 in Cleveland, and 119-114 at home to Golden State.
They then failed to build on a 127-101 blowout of the LA Clippers as they were beaten 121-111 in San Antonio, but they have not lost since.
Minnesota downed Milwaukee at home, 112-100, before heading out on the road to beat Houston 117-107 and New Orleans 115-109.
The Timberwolves then made it four-in-a-row on Sunday, as they returned home to beat Utah, 115-100.
Verdict
Minnesota are in good form, but they remain without Anthony Edwards for this one.
Dallas are in good form themselves and have routinely covered in the underdog role, while also beating some top teams, so give us the Mavericks and the free points.
