NBA TV brings us a great game this Monday 16th at 8:00 p.m., as the Dallas Mavericks (6-3) visit the Milwaukee Bucks (5-2), where Mavs’ Dirk Nowitzki and Bucks’ rookie Brandon Jennings hope to come on top to get their team the victory.
Jennings broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s franchise rookie record by scoring 55 points on last Saturday’s win over the Golden State Warriors, 129-125.
Milwaukee has won four games in a row, two at home and two on the road, with the rookie Jennings (with only 7 games of professional experience) being the highest scorer for his team with 25.6 points per game.
Dallas meanwhile are the leaders in the Southwest Division with a record of 6 wins and 3 losses. Their last match was a victory at Minnesota, 89-77. It was the Wolves’ 13th lost in a row against the Mavericks as they shot for a season-worst 32.6% from the field.
Dirk Nowitzki has been the highest scorer for the Mavs this season, as he averages almost 26 points and about nine rebounds per game. Jason Terry and former-Suns Shawn Marion add up with 18.1 and 13.6 PPG, respectively.
These two teams are very similar in stats, as they are both allowing about 93 points per game, and scoring about 99 points per game. At the end, the winner will come out depending on which key player for each team will overshadow the other: if it’s Nowitzki, Mavs win; if it’s Jennings, Bucks win.
