These are a pair of teams ranked in the bottom 15 in the NBA in scoring. Brooklyn ranks #21 in field goal shooting and #25 in free throws. This is the seventh road game over the last nine contests for the Nets, on a 5-2 run UNDER the total away from home. They face a Dallas squad that is top 10 in the NBA in points allowed. That defense has keyed a nice run, winning six of the last eight. They will lean on that defense again as there are depth problems tonight with backup big man Dwight Powell (knee), starting guard Wesley Matthews (hamstring), and J.J. Barea all questionable. Dallas is 35-20 UNDER when the total is 210 to 219.5, plus coach Rick Carlisle is 102-81 UNDER the total at home when facing losing teams. Take the UNDER in this one.
