Struggling Mavericks have no fear of Bucks

The Dallas Mavericks are struggling during the NBA's restart, losing three of their first four games.

But perhaps facing the NBA-best Milwaukee Bucks next in Saturday's game at The Arena near Orlando isn't such an arduous task.

The Mavericks will attempt to complete a two-game season sweep of the powerful Bucks in the next encounter, as the first meeting saw Dallas end Milwaukee's 18-game winning streak 120-116 on Dec. 16 on the Bucks' home floor.

And the Mavericks prevailed despite Giannis Antetokounmpo -- the heavy favorite to win his second straight NBA MVP award -- exploding for 48 points and 14 rebounds.
