The Dallas Mavericks (5-4) host the Brooklyn Nets (2-7) for an early Sunday game in the American Airlines Arena. The Mavericks last played on Friday night, pushing past the Utah Jazz in the second half to win decisively. Brooklyn is playing on the second night of a road back-to-back, losing to the Atlanta Hawks. Here are the main things you need to know:
WHO: Dallas Mavericks vs Brooklyn Nets
WHERE: American Airlines Center, Dallas, Texas
It’s a shockingly clean injury report for the Mavericks. As of this writing, Tarik is still out with the heel bursitis and Sergio De Larrea is out with his knee sprain. Obviously Dereck Lively is out too. Everyone else is playing. I expected Kyrie Irving to miss this one.

It’s not official yet, but the Nets are likely to be without Mikel Brown Jr. and Egor Demin. The former is pretty disappointing as that was a player man Mavs fans were hoping to see in a Dallas uniform.
This is a trap game. Dallas needs to come focused and ready to play despite their opponent’s record. Here’s hoping they put this one away early.
Since you’re here checking out this post, it’s for one of two reasons.
