After clinching a playoff spot, the Mavericks met the Wizards this past Friday. It wasn't pretty. The Wizards buried the Mavericks, 135-103.
Expect a much more focused and far stronger defensive effort from the Mavericks, who give up the second-fewest points in the NBA at 104.7 and rank fourth in 3-point defense.
This is what Dallas coach Jason Kidd said after the embarrassing loss to the Wizards: ''We have to get back to the details of our defense, and that's what we're built on. When you clinch, there's a time to relax, and I think we relaxed. We didn't play very well. Luka (Doncic) scored the ball, but again defensively, we got to get back to the way things were.''
The Bucks sat out four of their top defenders in their last game. That was this past Friday. The Bucks paid the price losing, 153-119, to the Clippers. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday and Brook Lopez are all expected to return for this matchup. The Bucks should be playing with a huge chip on their shoulder after their humiliating 34-point loss to the Clippers.
Two things to note, too. The Mavericks have been playing at the second-slowest pace during the last 10 games. This also is an early start time, another plus for the Under.
