Dallas Mavericks vs Brooklyn Nets: Predicted lineups

Kyrie Irving is back and is going to be suiting up alongside Luka Doncic in the backcourt while Derrick Jones Jr. and Josh Green are the starting forwards. Maxi Kleber has been filling in for Derek Lively II in the starting lineup and should do so if they sit the rookie center.

For the Nets, Spencer Dinwiddie and Cam Thomas have been starting at guards while Nic Claxton mans the center positions. Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson round up the starting five.

Dallas Mavericks vs Brooklyn Nets: Betting tips

With Kyrie Irving back in the game, he has been given a very high NBA prop of 24.5 points. Just returning from an injury, it would be risky to put him over the mark and we have yet to see if he still has some rust.

Mikal Bridges has been the most consistent scorer for the Nets and he has an NBA prop of 23.5 points. He has been struggling to go over the mark in the last two games and he is still risky to put over.

Dallas Mavericks vs Brooklyn Nets: Prediction

The Dallas Mavericks are the favored team to win this game even if the Brooklyn Nets own the home court advantage. The spread of 2.5 points should be covered while the total should go over.
