Why the Mavericks can cover
Guard Luka Doncic is a dominating playmaker on the court. Doncic doesn't have the most quickness or finesse but he knows how to torch a defense. The 24-year-old finds his way into the paint and owns a nice jumper. Doncic is first in the league in points (34.5) and third in assists (9.4) with 8.6 rebounds per game. On Feb. 3, he racked up 40 points, nine boards, and 11 assists.
Forward Grant Williams fits into his role just fine in Dallas. Williams plays hard-nosed defense while being a good spot-up shooter. The Tennessee product logged 14 points and seven boards in Monday's win over Philadelphia. Meanwhile, guard Josh Green is another athletic contributor who has good confidence and will space the floor. The Arizona product has scored 18-plus in three straight outings. On Feb. 5 versus the 76ers, Green tallied 20 points, six boards, and made four threes. See who to back at SportsLine.
Why the Nets can cover
Forward Mikal Bridges thrives on both ends of the floor. Bridges' length makes things hard on opposing players while being able to create offense for himself. The Villanova product leads the team in scoring (21.9) with five rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. On Jan. 29 versus the Jazz, Bridges had 33 points, four assists, and went 6-of-14 from 3-point land.
Guard Cameron Thomas provides the Nets with a capable bucket-getter. Thomas attacks from all three levels due to his knack for creating space as the LSU product logs 21.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game. He's scored 25-plus points in five of his last six games. On Feb. 3, Thomas dropped 40 points with five assists. See who to back at SportsLine.
