The Mavericks would be decent if they had a healthy Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flagg. But they don't. Irving is out for the season with a knee injury. Flagg has been ruled out due to a foot sprain. The Mavericks also could be down two big men. Dereck Lively II is done for the season with a foot injury, and Daniel Gafford is questionable with an ankle injury. If it weren't for a victory this past Sunday against the 15-43 Pacers, the Mavericks would be riding an 11-game losing streak. Dallas also has to deal with a blizzard on the East Coast to even make the journey, having stayed in Indiana last night. The Nets are anxious to get back to winning after losing four in a row. They had won their previous two games before their losing streak, with the last three of those defeats occurring on the road. The Nets are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games, and this is also a revenge spot for Brooklyn. The Mavericks beat the Nets, 113-105, on Jan. 12 in Dallas behind Flagg's 27 points. No Flagg this time. Take the Nets on the moneyline.
