The Brooklyn Nets have been in a terrible slump, as they’ve lost 16 of their last 19 games overall. But they will be eager to build some momentum after snapping a six-game slide with a 115-112 road win over the lowly Wizards on Saturday. Tyrese Martin and Jalen Wilson led the team with 20 points each. Drew Timme added 19 points off the bench, while Cameron Johnson chipped in with 18 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists. As a team, the Nets shot 44 percent from the field and 18 of 46 from the 3-point line as they struggled from the start and fell behind by as many as 17 points. Before they came alive with 64 points in the second half to run down the Wizards and escape with the narrow road win.

Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks have been in decent shape lately as they’ve won four of their last five games overall, and they will be aiming for a third-straight victory after outlasting the Bulls in a 120-119 road win on Saturday. Klay Thompson led the team with 20 points, PJ Washington added 19 points with seven rebounds and two blocks, Anthony Davis tallied 18 points with seven rebounds and five assists, while Spencer Dinwiddie chipped in with 14 points, eight rebounds and 11 assists. As a team, the Mavericks shot 46 percent from the field and nine of 30 from the 3-point line as they worked hard to erase an early 12-point deficit. Before they went on a pivotal 21-12 run in the fourth quarter to pull away and escape with the gritty road win against the resurgent Bulls.

Why the Dallas Mavericks will win

• The Mavericks have won each of their last eight games against the Nets following a win.
• The Nets have lost nine of their last 10 road games.
• The Mavericks have covered the spread in five of their last six night games against Eastern Conference opponents that held a losing record.
• The Nets have failed to cover the spread in four of their last five games against Southwest Division opponents that held a losing record.

Why the Brooklyn Nets will win

• The Mavericks have lost each of their last four games as home favorites against Atlantic Division opponents.
• The Nets have won three of their last four games as road underdogs against Western Conference opponents following a win.
• The Mavericks have failed to cover the spread in each of their last 12 games as home favorites against Atlantic Division opponents following a win.

Matchup/League Facts

• The Mavericks rank 28th in the league for opponent offensive rebounds per game this season (12.1).
• The Mavericks rank 3rd in the league for opponent three-point field goal attempts per game this season (35.2).
• The Nets rank 30th in the league for points per game this season (105.1).

The Nets have ruled out Noah Clowney, and they have Cameron Johnson listed as questionable, while the Mavericks are still missing Kyrie Irving, and they have Dereck Lively listed as questionable. These teams met just last week, and it was the Mavericks who romped to a 120-101 road win on Monday. The Nets have been blown out by two more teams since the last meeting, while the Mavericks have won their last two games with some key players starting to return to the lineup. The line is certainly hefty for this matchup, but it still isn’t high enough to sway me from backing the Mavericks to get the comfortable win and cover at home.
