Nets vs. Mavericks Preview
With wins in four of their last five games, including last Monday at Barclays Center when pounding the Nets by a score of 120-101, the Mavericks suddenly look a lot more interesting as April and the playoffs loom.
Dallas is certainly getting healthier, with Anthony Davis offering some encouraging efforts since his return last week, and likely to be available tonight, while Monday is also slated as the likely return for front-liner Daniel Gafford, who has been out since early February with knee issues.
As for the Nets, hardly a buy-signal to beat the woeful Wizards on Saturday, especially as Brooklyn's depleted roster was responsible for six straight defeats, several by hefty margins (including last week's Dallas result). Lay the points with Dallas.
Best Bet: Mavericks -9 (-110)
Nets vs. Mavericks Prediction
I'm taking the Under on Max Christie's rebounds prop. This is where he'll really suffer given the Mavs' current roster. Christie got off to a hot start on the glass after joining Dallas, but they had been crushed by front court injuries. Basically everyone is back now.
Dallas' top 5 in rebounds and rebound chances are Daniel Gafford, Luka Doncic, Dereck Lively, PJ Washington, and Kai Jones.
Doncic is obviously gone, but Lively/Washington/Jones are available and Lively is questionable. Anthony Davis leads the team in rebounding during his brief tenure, and he'll be in the lineup tonight.
Pick: Max Christie Under 3.5 Rebounds (-115)
