Mavericks vs. Nets Game Info
Dallas Mavericks (15-16, 7-8 Away) vs. Brooklyn Nets (22-12, 13-5 Home)
Date: Saturday, Feb. 27, 2021
Time: 8:30 p.m. EST
Venue: Barclays Center — Brooklyn, NY
Coverage: ABC
Following a big home stand, the Mavericks traveled to Philadelphia last game and lost, 111-97. They have played the past three games without big man Kristaps Porzingis. However, he is listed as questionable to play today. Luka Doncic has been inconsistent in Porzingis’ absence, scoring under his season average in two of the three games.
No Kevin Durant, no problem. The Nets have been among the hottest teams in the NBA, winning eight straight games. James Harden has been nothing short of fantastic, leading this team in Durant’s absence, averaging 25.3 points, 9.0 rebounds and 11.1 assists during the month of February. Harden’s strong play has been big for the Nets, with Kyrie Irving being a bit more inconsistent. Still, he is shooting 49.7% this month and is more than capable of taking over a game.

Mavericks vs. Nets Prediction
The Nets have been rock solid as of late, but especially at home. At this point, bet against them at your own risk. I trust at least one of their backcourt stars to be hot and hit big shots down the stretch. Luka Doncic has been hit or miss lately; if he’s off his game, the score won’t even be close.
Prediction: Nets -3.5
