Dallas Mavericks vs. Brooklyn Nets preview

The struggling Brooklyn Nets (24-51), fresh off snapping a six-game losing streak with a win over Washington, face a crucial test against a Dallas Mavericks team (37-38) fighting for their playoff lives at American Airlines Center tomorrow night.

Dallas has hit their stride lately, winning four of their last five, but they'll be without key contributors Kyrie Irving and Dante Exum as they cling to the 9th spot in the Western Conference, just 1½ games ahead of 11th place.

Anthony Davis has been ramping up his production since returning from injury, scoring 12, 15, and 18 points in his last three games, while the Nets will lean on Cameron Johnson (18.8 ppg) with leading scorer Cam Thomas sidelined for the season.

The offensive contrast couldn't be starker – Brooklyn ranks dead last in NBA scoring at 105.1 ppg while Dallas sits comfortably at 12th with 115 ppg.

When these teams met just a week ago, the Mavericks dominated en route to a 120-101 victory in Davis's first game back from his February injury.

Brooklyn's lack of continuity with several new faces seeing significant minutes has been painfully evident against more talented opposition.

The total has gone OVER in 10 of Dallas's last 11 games and all of Brooklyn's last seven games against Western Conference opponents, suggesting we might see more scoring than the Nets' offensive struggles would indicate.

While Dallas needs this win desperately to maintain playoff position, don't count out the scrappy Nets, who've been a profitable 40-34-1 against the spread this season despite their dismal record.
