Kyrie's suspension may have been addition by subtraction for Brooklyn. The Nets are 2-0 in their last two games without him and get Ben Simmons back tonight. Luka Donicic has been dominate, but hopefully Simmons can help slowing him down a little. The Mavericks have not been able to close out games in the last three games of their four are home-stand, going 0-2-1 ATS. I'm on the Nets.

The Nets have won two straight since Kyrie Irving's suspension, with second-year guard Cam Thomas excelling. He scored 38 points in the wins over Charlotte and Washington, adding 10 assists while posting a plus-49. Ben Simmons is set to return for Brooklyn, which should help versus Luka Doncic. The last four meetings have been decided by four or fewer points. This is the fourth and final game of Dallas' homestand. The Mavericks have won all three but failed to cover each time, beating Toronto by one, Utah by three and Orlando by nine. Take the points.

These two teams met in Brooklyn earlier this season, with the Mavericks winning by four points in overtime. Kyrie Irving, who scored 39 points in that game, won’t be around for their rematch. However, Seth Curry is now back from injury, providing the Nets with some much-needed shooting. Ben Simmons is also set to return from a four-game absence. Winning in Dallas won’t be easy, but given this big number, the Nets can still cover.
