Dallas Mavericks (8-3) @ Milwaukee Bucks (5-2), 8:00, NBA TV
Bucks’ rookie point guard Brandon Jennings scored a career high 55 points in a win over Golden State on Saturday and looks to continue his hot hand against Dallas tonight on NBA TV. With the Bucks receiving little national exposure, this will be a chance for Jennings to get some much-deserved coverage.
The Mavericks have won 8 games already, but haven’t had their full compliment of players at any time this season. Center Eric Dampier missed yesterday’s win over the Pistons with an illness and guard/forward Josh Howard has been in and out of the lineup with an ankle injury.
Jennings could have another big game tonight when he’s will be matched up with the much older and slower Jason Kidd, but the Mavericks depth should be able to overcome that match-up problem.
Dallas 100, Milwaukee 88
