Final stretch!
If you think things have been tough in Nets World, look no further than the opponent tonight. The Mavericks have spiraled since trading Luka Doncic — once a playoff team, now totally depleted by injury. There was a point when pundits questioned whether the Mavericks would have enough players to simply play the game. It’s THAT bad. Bad decisions, bad luck.
NETS VS. MAVERICKS
Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
Opponent: Dallas Mavericks (34-37)
Tune In: YES Network (Gotham Sports App); WFAN radio
Game Preview | Brian Fleurantin
The game: We’ve got what’s probably going to be an unhappy reunion tonight. In December, former Net Spencer Dinwiddie spoke about his second stint with the organization, and he discussed the frustration, sadness, and everything in between. It’s unfortunate, but that’s life sometimes. He’s had to start again due to all the injuries and he’s doing his best to make things happen. When Dinwiddie is at his best, he’s driving to the basket and creating quality shots for his teammates.
Injuries: D’Angelo Russell and Ziaire Williams are both questionable for Brooklyn. Cam Thomas and De’Anthony Melton are both out.
The following are out for Dallas:
- Kyrie Irving – Left ACL tear
- Daniel Gafford – right knee sprain
- Dante Exum – left hand fracture
- Caleb Martin – right hip strain
- Dereck Lively II – right ankle stress fracture
- Brandon Williams is probable with low back tightness.
- Anthony Davis was doubtful due to a left adductor strain, but is now questionable and should be back very soon.
