Dallas Mavericks vs. Brooklyn Nets key matchups

The Dallas Mavericks have been much better than the Brooklyn Nets this season. However, the Nets could cause some trouble against the Mavericks with their size and length on the perimeter. Winning some player matchups could do the trick for either team.

Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving will be up against some of the best defenders in the NBA: Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Ben Simmons and Royce O'Neale. The matchup between the Mavericks backcourt duo and these defensive threats could determine the grand scheme.

The other one is between the Mavericks' bigs and Nic Claxton. The latter can expose Dallas on both ends with Dereck Lively II out. Maxi Kleber and Dwight Powell will have an uphill task to limit Claxton's impact.
