The in-form Dallas Mavericks will be at home to welcome the struggling Washington Wizards for their next NBA fixture. They come to this game as the eighth-best team in the Western Conference while Washington are languishing in 14th place in the East. The Mavericks are on a roll at the moment and have won their last four matches. Three of those wins have come against East teams. They returned home last time out after a short trip to the East and dismantled the high-flying Thunder. Jason Kidd’s men won by 35 after tallying 146 points. They have now moved to seven games above .500 after registering their 30th win. Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving are managing injuries but have both been listed as ‘Probable’ for this game. Dante Exum and Derrick Lively remain sidelined while Maxi Kleber is also probable.

The Washington Wizards possess the worst-ranked defence in the league. They are giving up 122.8 points when on the road. Considering they are coming up against one of the best offensive teams in the league, this could be another tough night for them. Brian Keefe’s men have lost their last six fixtures. They are coming off a 119-113 defeat by the Sixers at home. This was their 43rd loss in 52 games this season. Isaiah Livers, who has been out for the last month, remains sidelined with a hip injury. The Wizards, who possess the second-worst record in the league, are averaging 114.8 points a night.
