Dallas Mavericks vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction 3/24/25 NBA Picks

The Dallas Mavericks and the Brooklyn Nets duke it out at the Barclays Center on Monday night. Here’s a Dallas Mavericks vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction. This article will include a Dallas Mavericks vs Brooklyn Nets Pick.

The Dallas Mavericks have been in terrible shape as they've lost nine of their last 11 games overall, but they will be feeling much better after snapping a four-game skid with a 123-117 home win over the Pistons on Friday. Spencer Dinwiddie led the team with 31 points and seven assists on nine of 12 shooting, PJ Washington added 27 points with four blocks on nine of 16 shooting, Klay Thompson scored 20 points while Naji Marshall chipped in with 19 points, 11 rebounds, and five assists. As a team, the Mavericks shot 52 percent from the field and 12 of 34 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 35 points in the first quarter to take an early 12-point lead. However, they could never put the Pistons away until the final 30.1 seconds, where they made five straight free throws to escape with the gritty win. The Mavs will take on the Knicks and Magic after this game.

Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets have been in a major slump as they've lost 13 of their last 15 games overall. They will be looking to avoid a fourth straight defeat after getting beaten by the Pacers in a 108-103 road defeat on Saturday. Trendon Watford led the team in scoring with 26 points on nine of 14 shooting off the bench, Cameron Johnson added 20 points with nine rebounds and five assists while Keon Johnson chipped in with 17 points. As a team, the Nets shot 43 percent from the field and 15 of 43 from the 3-point line as they struggled from the start and scored just 18 points in the third quarter to trail by as many as 20 points. Before they rallied to cut the deficit to just two points late in the fourth quarter. 

Why the Brooklyn Nets will win

• The Mavericks have lost three of their last four games as favorites against Atlantic Division opponents.
• The home team has won each of the Nets' last four games.
• The Nets have covered the spread in eight of their last nine games as underdogs.
• The Mavericks have failed to cover the spread in each of their last five games as road favorites following a win.

Why the Dallas Mavericks will win

• The favorites have won each of the last 10 games between the Mavericks and Nets at Barclays Center.
• The Nets have lost each of their last five games when playing with a rest disadvantage against the Mavericks.
• The Mavericks have covered the spread in each of their last five games as road favorites on the first leg of a back-to-back.
• The Nets have failed to cover the spread in five of their last six games against teams that held a losing record.

The Mavericks are still missing Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, and Dante Exum, while the Nets are keeping an eye on D'Angelo Russell and Ziaire Williams, who are both questionable. You couldn't back either side with any confidence these days, but the Mavericks were good enough to take down a solid Pistons team in their last game. I think the combination of Dinwiddie, Washington, and Thompson gets the job done for the Mavericks in this spot.
