PREVIEW: The Dallas Mavericks visit Milwaukee looking to bounce back from their recent struggles, while the Bucks aim to snap a three-game losing streak at home. Dallas has managed just 10 wins in 27 road contests this season, while Milwaukee sits at 16-21 in home games. The Mavericks bring defensive discipline to this matchup, ranking fifth in limiting three-point attempts, yet they struggle offensively with a below-average perimeter game. Meanwhile, Milwaukee ranks second in efficient three-point shooting but faces significant vulnerabilities, ranking 26th in defending shots at the rim and 29th in allowing three-point attempts. The Bucks average 14.8 made threes per game compared to the 12.8 Dallas allows, while the Mavericks shoot just 10.7 threes nightly against Milwaukee's 14.8 allowed per contest. Injuries plague both rosters significantly, with Milwaukee without Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis, while Dallas is without Kyrie Irving and Dereck Lively II. In their last 10 games, the Mavericks have outscored opponents 117.7 to 126.8, while the Bucks have been outscored 106.1 to 122.6. This clash between two struggling squads could prove competitive given the injury situations and Dallas' road woes facing off against Milwaukee's home inconsistency.
