Mavs are out for revenge!
The Brooklyn Nets and Dallas Mavericks will meet on 03/17/2022 starting at 00:30. A delightful East-West duel between two top teams in the East and West.
While the home side is only in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, the return of Kevin Durant means that the team from the “Big Apple” can now be rated much stronger again.
Brooklyn Nets – Statistics & current form
Head Coach Steve Nash shows a weak home record with his team: The win rate at the Barclays Center is only 43.8 percent and is thus clearly below the value of 59.5 percent, which Brooklyn has brought in so far in its away games. A negative factor in this context is the absence of Kyrie Irving in the home games.
Of course, this weakens the squad considerably, because “Uncle Drew” can still be described as a very strong guard and regularly proves his class – but currently only on the road. An example of his quality Irving delivered last night with 60 points in the win in Orlando
With that output, the guard set a new franchise record and only Minnesota’s Karl-Anthony Towns has also managed that enormous number of points in a game so far this season.
Dallas Mavericks – Statistics & current form
In Texas, Luka Doncic can continue to be counted on. The Slovenian recently took home the “Player of the Month” award in the Western Conference and ranks among the top five players in both the NBA’s scoring and assist rankings!
The visitors will also be very motivated, as they suffered a narrow home defeat to the Nets in their only meeting of the season so far last December. They also have a physical advantage, as the hosts will have to play a back-to-back.
Brooklyn Nets – Dallas Mavericks tip
For the clash between the Brooklyn Nets and Dallas Mavericks, betting on an away win is worth considering. Although the home side are on the upswing again after a very dismal season and have won the past four games, this series should now come to an end.
This is supported by the fact that Kyrie Irving will have to pass in the home games as usual, and besides him, other important players like forward LaMarcus Aldridge or newcomer Seth Curry will be missing in the backcourt due to injury.
In addition, the Texans are in a stable form: As can be seen from eight wins in the review of the last ten encounters. On top of that they are fresher because they had a night off last night.
