The Dallas Mavericks start a four-game road trip on Monday night, all on the East Coast, as they travel to face the Brooklyn Nets. As the season winds down, the Nets are most likely out of the postseason picture, but they can still be a tough team to beat at times.
Dallas is actually coming off a win for the second time in the last 11 games, beating a good Detroit Pistons team at home on Friday. PJ Washington and Spencer Dinwiddie combined for 59 points, but the team will want to clean up the turnovers after having 20 on Friday (Washington had nine by himself).
Brooklyn entered the All-Star Break on a little bit of a hot streak, winning six of the seven games leading into it. Ever since then, though, they're just 3-14. The Nets are coming off back-to-back losses in Indiana against the Pacers, but they came by a combined 11 points, and the first matchup went to overtime. Trendon Watford had 26 points off the bench in the most recent matchup, while D'Angelo Russell has loved having the ball in his hands and not having to be punished for it.
This is the first matchup between these teams this season, but they'll meet in Dallas in one week. It's also the first night of a back-to-back for the Mavericks, as they'll be in Madison Square Garden against the Knicks on Tuesday.
