Mavericks vs Nets Predictions and Picks
Dallas is currently 22nd in points, 21st in points allowed, and 23rd in point differential. Ryan Nembhard leads the team in assists per game. The Mavericks are 6-19 on the road and 1-9 in their last 10 games. The Mavs lead the season series 2-0, and both wins were by eight points. This team just snapped a 10-game losing streak and would love to slowly get some sort of winning streak going. Dallas has the edge in field goal efficiency and will try to take advantage of points off turnovers.
Brooklyn is currently 30th in points, 12th in points allowed, and 28th in point differential. Nic Claxton leads the team in assists per game and field goal percentage. The Nets are 8-19 at home and 3-7 in their last 10 games. Brooklyn is looking to end a four-game skid, and Nic Claxton will be a focal point against a shorthanded Mavericks frontcourt. The Nets will try to clean up the turnovers, get consistent offense from start to finish, and not collapse in crunch time.
Best Bet: Nets Money Line
Brooklyn is back home after dropping three games on the road, and two of those were ugly losses. They have had somewhat close games against Dallas, and the Mavs are pretty shorthanded at the moment.
