The Brooklyn Nets (15-41) had a disappointing three-game road trip coming out of the All-Star break as they came back home with an 0-3 record despite having one week of rest. Brooklyn now has two games at home, beginning with the Dallas Mavericks (20-36) on Tuesday, and if you’re wondering where you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place!
The Nets come into this game following a 115-104 loss at the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday in which Brooklyn amassed an 11-point lead with eight minutes to go before being on the wrong end of a 24-2 run to end the game. Forward Michael Porter Jr. had 18 points and seven rebounds to lead the team while center Nic Claxton returned after a three-game absence to put up 15 points and eight rebounds of his own.

The Mavericks enter this matchup after a 134-130 win at the Indiana Pacers on Sunday in which the game was essentially back-and-forth the entire way despite Dallas playing without star rookie Cooper Flagg. Forward Khris Middleton led the way for Dallas with his 25 points and seven assists while forward PJ Washington had 23 points and nine rebounds in 37 minutes.
Both teams could be dealing with a lack of energy given that both weren’t able to travel to New York City until Tuesday morning due to the blizzard that the city saw over the weekend. With that being the case, both teams had to deal with the same traveling situation so the good news is that neither team gained an unforeseen advantage because of the snowstorm.
Here is what you need to know to get ready for this matchup:
