monday night, dallas mavericks They will head to the Wells Fargo Center for a road match. Philadelphia 76ers. The Mavericks lost at home to the Milwaukee Bucks. The 76ers lost to the Brooklyn Nets. Tip at 7:10pm ET. Philadelphia opens as the home favorite.
Mavs wince at home
The Mavericks led by 25 points in the first half, but played poorly in the second half and lost 129-117 at home to the Milwaukee Bucks. Luka Doncic had 40 points and 11 assists for the Mavericks, but they lost the lead in their biggest loss of the season.
With Kyrie Irving missing his sixth consecutive game with a sprained thumb, Doncic headed to the locker room after getting his right ankle entangled with Giannis Antetokounmpo in a scramble for a loose ball in the first quarter. The Bucks went on a 38-10 run to take an eight-point lead into the third quarter. “If you look at the Milwaukee game, they just kept playing, took their best shots in the first half, and then Dame hit a 3 at the buzzer to end the first half on a positive note.” Dallas director Jason Kidd he told an Associated Press reporter. “We didn't take care of the ball.”
According to ESPN's Tim McMahon, Jason Kidd said Kyrie “had a good two days of practice” and “hopes he'll be able to play” in the team's three-game road trip, which begins with Monday's game. His return will likely see Tim Hardaway Jr. return to his role as the team's sixth man.
Sixers lose at home
The Sixers, lacking players, fell behind early on and suffered a 136-121 loss to the Brooklyn Nets. Brooklyn ended a nine-game losing streak against Philadelphia, including four in a row against the 76ers in the first round of last year's NBA playoffs.
Philadelphia was without reigning NBA MVP Joel Embiid, who missed his second game after suffering a torn left meniscus at Golden State on Tuesday night. Philadelphia is 4-10 in 14 games without Embiid this season. “It was a tough game tonight in terms of personnel, but we don't want to make any excuses,” 76ers coach Nick Nurse said. “We should have tried to play a little bit better, especially on the defensive end and the guards on the 3-point line. Obviously, we gave up too many and too many open ones. ”
Two nights after scoring a career-high 51 points in a win over Utah, Tyrese Maxey scored 23 points on 8-of-23 shooting. Telkavion Smith scored 17 points and Kelly Oubre Jr. added 16 points for the 76ers, who lost for the fifth time in six games. In addition to Embiid, the 76ers also have starters Tobias Harris (illness) and Nicolas Batum (left hamstring strain), as well as key reserves De'Anthony Melton (back) and Robert Covington (left knee meniscus tear). lacked. Embiid will be sidelined for at least the next two weeks until he is reevaluated.

evaluation:
Kyrie Irving is doubtful for this contest, but he is on a road trip and plans to suit up on Monday or Tuesday. Luka Doncic fell short of a triple-double on Saturday, grabbing just one rebound, but had nine turnovers. He's had several high turnover nights this season, but this was the most. However, the condition of Doncic's right ankle was a bigger issue, and he injured it during the first quarter. The good news is that he returned late in the period, but it was the same ankle that cost him playing time last month. Dallas heads out on a three-game road trip starting with back-to-back games on Monday and Tuesday, and I expect them to sit both Luka and Kyrie for this first game on Monday. Dallas has not been able to cover the spread of infection in 7 out of 8 cases. Philadelphia should bring Harris back and beat a under-resourced Dallas team.
Prediction: Philadelphia 76ers

evaluation:
The Mavericks and Sixers are in the middle of the pack in terms of pace heading into this contest. Tyrese Maxey had a tough shot against the Nets, but he has the ability to explode and will likely have the ball in his hands all night even if Joel Embiid is sidelined again. Dallas has regressed defensively, and injuries are a big reason for that. Coming into this contest, they rank 24th in defensive rating. Four out of five cases at Wells Fargo Center and eight out of 11 cases overall exceeded the total. Come here with confidence.
Prediction: Over
