Milwaukee at Dallas always makes for an interesting backcourt battle. The Bucks, sitting at 29-45, have actually won two of their last three, including a 118-113 road victory over Boston. That's a surprise, given how inconsistent they’ve been all year, especially away from Fiserv Forum. Dallas, on the other hand, just lost 120-112 to the Rockets, falling to a dismal 24-51 on the season. They've dropped five of their last six, and frankly, they look checked out. Luka Doncic can only do so much.
The key matchup to watch here is Jrue Holiday going up against Kyrie Irving, though Irving's defensive effort can be pretty sporadic these days. Milwaukee’s got more to play for, even with their lottery bound record, and they're playing with more energy right now. Dallas just seems to be counting down the days. Milwaukee wins this one easily, 115-98.
