Dallas Mavericks vs Brooklyn Nets prediction
Two teams on the end of back to backs, I usually lean toward the home team in these spots. However, the Nets remain a banged up team while the Mavs are getting healthy. With Kyrie and Luka on the court, it’s hard to step in front of the Mavs especially against subpar at best opponents. Assuming those two can stay on the court, the Mavs should be able to get back on track and start gaining ground in the standings. We’re laying a bucket. Give me the Mavericks.
