The Mavs come into the Meadowlands owning the best record in the West as well as the best record against the Nets in the Jason Kidd era. Dallas, where Kidd started his NBA career, is the only team the Nets have not beaten since Kidd arrived in New Jersey in 2001. The Mavs also own the most convincing win over the Nets this season, a 110-77 blowout back in January. The Nets, however, now own the longest current winning streak in the NBA at four games.
