The Dallas Mavericks will be in Milwaukee to take on the Milwaukee Bucks for a matchup between two teams with big postseason aspirations.

The Mavericks, as ever, will be dependent on Luka Dončić to get the job done and even more so after trading Kristaps Porziņģis to the Washington Wizards.

The Mavs (48-30) will be eager to secure homecourt advantage. To do so, they'll have to secure the fourth spot in the West. They led the fifth-place Utah Jazz (46-32) by two games. Or they could move higher in the standings as they are only one game behind the third-seeded Golden State Warriors (49-29).

Meanwhile, the Bucks (48-29) had a slow start to the season by their standards but have picked up steam tremendously. Second in the Eastern Conference, they have won six of their last 10 games and trail the first-place Miami Heat (50-28) by 1.5 games. They'll rely on Giannis Antetokounmpo to once again come up with the goods.
