J.J. Barea starting for Dallas on Thursday; Jalen Brunson to bench

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea will start on Thursday in the team's game against the Brooklyn Nets.

Barea had been coming off the bench as of late, but he'll get the nod to start against the Nets in Dallas. That means Jalen Brunson will come off the bench instead.

In eight games this season, Barea has averaged 15.7 FanDuel points per game.
