Doncic and Mavs’ head to New York to face the Nets in their final regular season match

Another night of NBA action gets underway as the Dallas Mavericks tip off against the struggling Brooklyn Nets in their final regular season game. The action airs live from New York City’s Barclays Center, Tuesday, Feb. 6, on ESPN.

Leading the way for the Mavericks all season long has been none other than the sensational Slovenian, Luka Doncic.

Having yet another incredible season, Doncic leads the Mavs in points with an average of 33.6 per game, putting him in the top five in league scoring. Also contributing 9.1 assists per game and 8.1 rebounds per game, Doncic continues to show his well-rounded game.

And with the Mavs’ recent acquisition of Kyrie Irving, both their games have complemented each other seamlessly, as Irving looks to have found his groove in 2024 with an average of 25.8 points per game — not to mention his five consecutive games in January scoring 30 points or more.

For the Nets, it’s been an up-anddown year, with Spencer Dinwiddie (13.2 points per game) and Mikal Bridges (21.4 points per game) bearing most of the load this season, with point guard and small forward Ben Simmons sitting out the majority of the 2023-24 campaign due to injury.

The last time these two teams met, Doncic put on a show, scoring an easy 49 points, including scoring the tie-breaking three-point shot with 26.3 seconds remaining, with the Mavs walking away victorious, 125-120. While the Nets walked away with another loss, they managed to go 21 for 43 from beyond the arch, something they certainly hope to replicate against a lethal Dallas Mavericks squad.
