Dallas needs to play better on offense and use better spacing to free up shooters. The absence of Kyrie Irving hurts, so Davis and Washington must carry a bigger load. The focus is on ball movement and interior defense against a Washington team that can score in spurts.

Dallas plays its second straight home game and should respond with better defense and improved shooting. Washington’s offense can keep it close, but Dallas has the edge inside.
