The Dallas Mavericks will host the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night. Here is how to watch this Western Conference NBA game online via live streaming.

Only six NBA teams will be in action Tuesday night, two of which are the Mavericks and Spurs, who will lock horns for an in-state Western Conference matchup.

Tipoff is slated for 8:30 p.m. EST (7:30 CT) on November 14, 2017 at American Airlines Arena in Dallas, TX. The visiting Spurs’ broadcast will air on KENS while Fox Sports Southwest-Dallas will carry the home feed. The game can also be streamed live on NBA League Pass and FuboTV.

The two clubs have had fairly divergent seasons to far. Despite not having MVP candidate Kawhi Leonard, the Spurs are off to an 8-5 record thanks to balanced production across its roster and strong individual play from LaMarcus Aldridge, who has shouldered more offensive responsibility in Leonard’s absence. Eleven Spurs average at least five points per game while only Aldridge posts more than 13 a night. As a team, San Antonio scores 103 points per game and surrenders less than 100.

The Mavs, meanwhile, post a shade under 100 points a night while giving up a whopping 107.7. Just below the fray of teams competing for the West’s final few playoff spots, the Mavs projected as a middling Western Conference team heading into the season. Instead, they have been the worst team in the NBA, with just two wins to go with 12 losses. Harrison Barnes has arguably been the Mavericks’ only net positive on offense while rookie Dennis Smith Jr. has struggled to produce efficiently. Franchise legend Dirk Nowitzki is unfortunately deep into his career decline.

The Spurs enter the game as the odds-on favorite to win, and given San Antonio’s institutional stability and Dallas’ disappointing start, the smart money would be on them to come out on top. San Antonio seems to find production from anyone who puts on a Spurs jersey, no matter past pedigree or reputation. They do not beat themselves, especially against the league’s worst teams.

If there’s a weakness Dallas might exploit, it’s Leonard being out. Catch the Spurs on an off night without a reliable 1-on-1 creator, and the offense stalls. On the right night, the Mavs might have the horses to grind out a close win. That’s unlikely, though, especially considering how well Aldridge has played. The Spurs seem to get a boost from a different rotation player every game. Once they get Leonard back, they should hit the ground running.
