Milwaukee @ Dallas
Current Records: Milwaukee 18-6; Dallas 13-11
What to Know
The Dallas Mavericks will take on the Milwaukee Bucks at 10 p.m. ET Friday at American Airlines Center after having had a few days off. Both teams come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous games.
Dallas escaped with a win on Tuesday against the Denver Nuggets by the margin of a single free throw, 116-115. The Mavericks’ shooting guard Tim Hardaway Jr. looked sharp as he shot 6-for-8 from beyond the arc and finished with 29 points.
Meanwhile, Milwaukee had enough points to win and then some against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday, taking their game 126-113. Milwaukee’s power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo did his thing and had 35 points and seven assists along with six boards. Antetokounmpo’s night made it eight games in a row in which he has scored at least 30 points.
Dallas is expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten Denver Nov. 20 easily too and instead slipped up with a 98-97. In other words, don’t count the Bucks out just yet.
