Nets vs Mavericks Prediction
The Nets aren’t winning games, but they’ve covered eight of their last 10 games, so there’s value with the points at home. The Mavericks are still the most injured team in NBA history and have lost 21 times on the road. I’m not excited to lay points with the Mavs. However, the Nets continue to rack up losses and have no chance at the play-in tournament and at this point, you have to question why they’d even try to snag a win at this stage.
The Mavs are tied with the Suns for that last play-in spot, so there’s still motivation there. Also, AD is close to returning, so there’s a glimmer of hope. If the Mavericks can’t win this game, there are not many left they can. It’s pretty much a must-win game for the Mavs in terms of playoff hopes. I’ll lay the bucket with the Mavericks on the road.
