Luka Doncic walks down the court for the Mavericks.

Friday night will feature an exciting NBA game between two of the best young talents in the league. Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks head to State Farm Arena to face Dejounte Murray and the Atlanta Hawks. The game tips off on NBA TV at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on January 26.

Dallas and Atlanta are two teams heading in different directions. Dallas is currently a play-in team in the Western Conference. Although the Doncic and Kyrie Irving pairing has worked this year, Dallas needs to trade for another wing who can hit an outside shot and guard multiple positions. Meanwhile, Atlanta is below 500 and going nowhere fast. With the trade deadline a few weeks away, do not be surprised if Murray moves to a different team in February.
