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 Toronto Raptors ran away from the Washington Wizards on Monday night, bringing their record to 25-47. The Philadelphia 76ers, or what’s left of them, lost to the New Orleans Pelicans, dropping their record to 23-49, same as Brooklyn’s.

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Davis is in “increasingly strong contention” to make his return from injury during the Mavericks' upcoming road stretch among Eastern Conference teams. Stein added that a particular game for Davis' return hasn’t been locked in.
