Expert Picks & Predictions
Moneyline Pick: Mavericks ML (-115)
- The Mavericks are the slight home favorites, which is fair given Sacramento’s inconsistency.
- Luka Dončić is averaging 34.7 PPG over his last three games and should dominate.
- Kings haven’t won consecutive games in their last nine tries.
Spread Pick: PASS
- With the spread at Mavericks -1, it’s essentially a moneyline bet.
- If you like Dallas, take Mavericks ML (-115) instead of the spread.
Over/Under Pick: Lean UNDER 237.5 (-110)
- My model projects 232.5 total points, which suggests value on the Under.
- The Kings and Mavs have gone 7-3 to the Under in their last 10 matchups.
- However, both teams are 15-5 to the Over in their last 10 games combined, making this a risky bet.
