PREVIEW: The Milwaukee Bucks will look to stop a three-game home losing streak when hosting the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, January 25, 2026 at Fiserv Forum. The Mavericks, coached by Jason Kidd, hold a 19-27 record and are currently 12th in the Western Conference, while the Bucks, led by Doc Rivers, have an 18-26 record and stand 11th in the Eastern Conference. Dallas boasts elite perimeter defense, ranking 3rd in both limiting three-point attempts and preventing quality three-pointers, though they struggle with free-throw shooting at 74.9% efficiency. Milwaukee enters on a tough stretch after losing their last three home games, most recently suffering a 102-100 defeat to Denver. The Bucks counter with league-leading three-point shooting efficiency and strong rim attacks ranked 4th, but share Dallas' weakness from the free-throw line at 73.6%. Giannis Antetokounmpo's absence due to a calf injury and Kevin Porter Jr.'s oblique strain significantly impact Milwaukee's depth and offensive firepower. Meanwhile, Dallas has won 4 of its last 5 games while the Bucks have lost 4 of their last 5. Pace will be critical for the Mavericks, who won the fastbreak battle 29-6 in their first matchup, though Dallas will play on short rest following their Lakers loss.
