Why Bet on the Brooklyn Nets?

The tandem of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving is one of the best in the league today. Although we haven’t seen both players side by side as much as we want to, their chemistry they show when they do is evident. In their last game against the Bucks, the two combined for 70 points despite losing the game by 6 points.

Durant played as if he did not suffer from a career-threatening injury, and is still one of the most efficient players in the NBA. His floor presence is incredible as he lifts his team’s offense, unlike any other player.

Meanwhile, Kyrie Irving has done an amazing job of facilitating the team during the absence of Durant and James Harden. He is averaging 26.8 points, 6.3 assists, and 5.0 rebounds per game for the Nets, running close to his career-high. In addition, the Nets’ proactive team can secure open looks if called upon, which makes them an offensive hazard for any team coming along their way.

Why Bet on the Dallas Mavericks?

As of this writing, the Mavs are fifth in the Western Conference and are now pumped up with morale following a 127-113 victory against the Miami Heat. There are times when the starters take a while to heat up, resulting in poor shooting nights, especially without the services of Porzingis and Hardaway Jr. But when they do connect, the Mavs become a spectacular team to watch.

The Mavs’ last game features Tim Hardaway Jr. leading the scoring with 36 points to his name, as well as 4 rebounds and an assist. What’s more impressive is he did all of this in just over 33 minutes. Right behind him is Luka Dončić, who recorded 23 points, 12 rebounds, and 8 assists in 8 minutes.

He is the team’s key player coming into this Nets vs. Mavs game, making this an even more exciting bout. The pairing of the guard and the forward is supported by Josh Richardson and Dorian Finney-Smith, who have been playing pivotal roles in the regular season.
