The Brooklyn Nets will begin a four-game road trip in the 2021-22 NBA when they travel to the American Airlines Center on Tuesday to face the Dallas Mavericks
The Nets have struggled for consistency, winning two of their last four games. Brooklyn are coming off a 107-111 reverse against the Chicago Bulls. Kevin Durant scored a team-high 28 points. But his efforts went in vain, as most of his teammates struggled on the night.
Trending
Meanwhile, the Mavericks haven't been in great form either, coming into this game off consecutive losses. In their last outing, the Mavericks lost 97-90 to the Memphis Grizzlies. Tim Hardaway Jr.'s team-high 29 point-outing wasn't enough, as Dallas failed to cope in the absence of injured stars Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis.

The Brooklyn Nets will be without Kyrie Irving and Joe Harris for this game. Irving is ineligible to participate, as he is not vaccinated for COVID-19, while Harris is recovering from an ankle injury.
Dallas Mavericks Injury Report
The Dallas Mavericks will be without Willey Cauley-Stein (personal) for this game. Meanwhile, Luka Doncic (ankle) and Tim Hardaway Jr. (knee) are listed as questionable. Big man Krisaps Porzingis is probable because of a knee contusion.
