Nets vs. Mavericks preview: How to watch, TV channel, start time
The Brooklyn Nets (20-29, 11th in the Eastern Conference) welcome the Dallas Mavericks (27-23, eighth in the Western Conference) to Barclays Center in Kyrie Irving’s return on Tuesday for the second night of a back-to-back for both teams and if you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place!
The Nets come into this game following a 109-98 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Monday in which neither team shot the ball well, but the Warriors made the hustle plays when it mattered most. Brooklyn has some uncertainty going into this matchup as Lonnie Walker IV (hamstring) and Cam Johnson (adductor) did not finish Monday’s game so the Nets’ injury report will tell more.
The Mavericks enter this matchup after a 118-102 win at the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday in which Dallas took advantage of a banged up 76ers team missing Joel Embiid. Irving returned after a six-game absence due to a thumb injury and put up 23 points along with eight assists in the winning effort.
