Nets vs. Mavericks betting preview: Prediction, point spread, odds
The Brooklyn Nets (23-48) have hit arguably their roughest stretch of the season as they have won just three of their 17 games coming out of the All-Star Break. Brooklyn has been dealing with some injuries along the way, but they seek to end their 3-game losing streak on Monday against the Dallas Mavericks (34-37) and if you're wondering how you can watch all the action live, you've come to the right place!
The Nets come into this game following a 108-103 loss at the Indiana Pacers on Saturday in which Brooklyn came back from a 20-point deficit to make things interesting towards the end of the contest. Trendon Watford had one of his best games of the season with 26 points and five rebounds off the bench while Cam Johnson had 20 points, nine rebounds, and five assists.
The Mavericks enter this matchup after a 123-117 win against the Detroit Pistons on Friday in which Dallas seemed to be healthier than they had been with their ability to dress nine players. Spencer Dinwiddie led the way for the Mavericks with 31 points and seven assists while PJ Washington had 27 points and four blocks as Dallas ended a 4-game losing streak.

Advice and Prediction
The Nets have not been playing their best basketball since coming out of the All-Star Break as they have not only faced tough competition, but have also dealt with some injuries along the way. Brooklyn will be without D'Angelo Russell for this matchup, but they will have most of their starting lineup available against a Mavericks team that should be healthy enough to play this game.
Dallas has been relying on the healthy players that remain on the roster as they are dealing with a rash of injuries, including to Anthony Davis, who has played just one game for the team since the Luka Doncic trade. Davis has been upgraded from doubtful to questionable for this matchup so there is a chance that he returns for a Mavericks team that can use as many bodies as possible.
The Nets rank in the bottom half of the NBA in offensive rating while the Mavericks rank as one of the better teams on the offensive end of the floor. Brooklyn and Dallas ranks in the bottom half of the league in defensive rating while the teams play at a difference pace as well. The Nets play at one of the slowest paces in the Association while the Mavericks are around middle-of-the-pack in pace.
Prediction: Nets 110, Mavericks 105
