Milwaukee Bucks at Dallas Mavericks
· National Basketball AssociationAntetokounmpo and Lillard lead Bucks to 132-117 victory over short-handed Mavericks

Gary Trent Jr. added 20 points as the Bucks won for the sixth time in seven games, surging into fourth place in the Eastern Conference.
Kyrie Irving scored 31 points for the short-handed Mavericks, who are trying to stay afloat in the West playoff race until Anthony Davis returns from a groin injury, possibly by mid-March. The star forward got hurt in his Dallas debut after the seismic trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Irving made all 11 of his free throws, but was just 2 of 9 from 3-point range as the Mavs shot 28% (11 of 40) from beyond the arc.
Mavericks: Moses Brown had 18 points and nine rebounds on the final day of the 7-foot-2 center's 10-day contract. That was after Brown had 20 points and 11 rebounds in a victory over Charlotte. The Mavericks badly need his size with Davis, Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford sidelined by injuries, but they can't sign him to another 10-day deal because of salary cap restrictions.
