Mavs primary issues in losing 4 of last 5 have been 4th qtr defense where opp has shot 54%. They play CLE tonight & in last 6 outings they haven't had to worry about 4th qtr as they've won by 21.2 avg (27.3 in last 4).
Mavs really need their bigs to be active tonight as CLE starts the tallest front line in @NBA in Markkanen, Mobley & Allen who go 7-0, 7-0 & 6-11 respectively. Mobley is the early leader for Rookie of Yr. Texas-ex Allen avg 15-11. In 4 games vs DAL Markkanen avg 21.8-10 on 54% FG
