Sunday, April 3rd. the Dallas Mavericks play the Milwaukee Bucks for the second and final time this season. Milwaukee won the initial meeting between the clubs 102-95 on December 23rd.
Both teams last played on Friday with the Mavericks losing 103-135 to the Wizards while the Bucks lost 119-153 to the Clippers with both teams resting the majority of their starting unit.
Last season, the squads played twice with each team winning on their home court. The Bucks hold the all-time record having bested the Mavericks in 43 of their 80 matches.
Dallas Mavericks
There are only four games left for Dallas to play. While they’ve clinched their playoff berth the Mavericks are still trying to confirm home court in the first round.
Golden State got a big win (versus Utah) on Saturday that keeps Dallas a full game back while the Jazz and Nuggets remain two games behind the Mavs.
The loss to the Wizards was an oddity with the core playing. Head coach Jason Kidd said teams have a tendency to relax when they clinch so he credited that as the reason however, it was also a revenge game for former Maverick Kristaps Porzingis.
Luka Doncic led the way for Dallas with 36 points, seven rebounds, six assists, and a block. Jalen Bruson scored 21 as the only other double-figure scorer on the Mavs.
Maxi Kleber (ankle) is questionable while Trey Burke (quarantine) and Sterling Brown (quarantine) were downgraded to out on Sunday. Theo Pinson (finger) and Tim Hardaway Jr.(foot) are out indefinitely.
Milwaukee Bucks
With five games remaining for the Bucks they trail the Heat by 1.5 games in second and are a half-game up on the Celtics. The East ladder keeps shifting and remains tightly packed, however with Philly now in fourth and Toronto in fifth.
Any of the top four teams could finish first while the middle section of the East is also in flux with each of the Celtics, 76ers, Raptors, and Bulls likely to make up the third through sixth seeds.
The play-in seems set as well other than seeding with the current structure being the Cavaliers, Hawks, Hornets, and Nets ranking seventh through 10th.
Although the Bucks are laser-focused on that top seed they’re also keeping an eye at the teams behind them since there are so many options of who they could play in the first round.
Antetokounmpo (knee), Khris Middleton (wrist), Jrue Holiday (ankle), and Brook Lopez (conditioning) are all probable after resting in the prior match. De’Andre Bembry (knee) is out indefinitely and the only player on the Bucks listed as out.

Free Dallas Mavericks vs. Milwaukee Bucks NBA Prediction
This could be a preview of the NBA Finals. Certainly, the Bucks are looking like the best bet to come out of the East but the question is whether Luka and his Mavericks are ready.
In the Doncic era they haven’t won a playoff series so getting all the way to the finals would be a massive jump for them to make.
Winning this game would give the Mavs some confidence as Milwaukee are playing their best ball of the season and reminding everyone why they won. The biggest challenge for the Bucks is who’ll guard Doncic and limit his effectiveness.
