Apr 12, 2021 DALLAS - The Dallas Mavericks look to upset the Philadelphia 76ers, who are in a dogfight for the top seed in the Eastern Conference, in an early 6:30 p.m. CT Monday night tipoff for a nationally broadcasted game. Tonight's showdown should be Mavs newly-acquired guard J.J. Redick's much-anticipated debut. Nicolo Melli and Redick were acquired by the Mavs in a trade with the New Orleans Pelicans last month for James Johnson, Wes Iwundu, a second-round draft pick, and cash. Redick hasn't played since March 3 due to a right heel injury. His fresh legs could be the offensive spark the Mavs need vs. the defensively-stout 76ers. Redick has been upgraded to "available" for tonight's matchup.
