Analysis
Root Reserve on Dallas Mavs Tim Hardaway Jr. has been great for the Dallas Mavericks the entire season and is the team's third-best scorer behind Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis. In his last four appearances, Hardaway averaged 26.8 points per game. Luka Doncic has been terrific throughout the 2020-21 NBA season and has been at the center of MVP talks throughout the entire year. The Mavericks have played better than the Brooklyn Nets recently, as they have a 7-3 record in their last 10 games. The Brooklyn Nets are 5-5 in the same period. Tonight’s game is very important for seeding purposes. The Nets most likely will remain as the number two seed. But for Dallas, they can slip and slide three slots with a key loss. The Mav’s are currently fifth in the West but only have a one-game advantage over the seventh-placed Portland Trail Blazers. It’s all about desire. The Nets are only waiting for the big three to all come together after the playoffs begin. Dallas Mavericks have a 37-28 record and are fighting to stay clear of the Play-In tournament. The outright upset is 50/50 and we get points as Dallas gives it everything they got.
