Brooklyn threw out a non-competitive lineup, starting players like Keon Johnson and Tyrese Martin, but they stayed within striking distance for most of the game. It was a good first game back for Davis so he can get his playing legs back under him, and we'll see if he's able to go on Tuesday night against the Knicks.

The Nets welcomed Anthony Davis and the Dallas Mavericks to Brooklyn on Monday in the first of three straight games at Barclays Center.

It was the first non-competitive game in a while. With this team, let’s just be thankful we’ve made it this far without many more.
