Mavericks at Kings: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Kings 116, Mavericks 109
Money line (ML)
The KINGS (+180) are attractive live dogs at home, with a chance to nearly double up if they can pick up the victory. I think the Mavericks are too dinged up, with three key players nursing injuries.
Even if Doncic, Porzingis and/or Kleber are able to play for the visitors, the Kings rolled to a 121-107 victory in the most recent meeting and are a good play Monday.

Against the spread (ATS)
If you’re not quite feeling the home side straight up, take the KINGS +5.5 (-110) catching two buckets at home.
The Mavericks are just 2-5 ATS in their past seven games as favorites, and 0-4 ATS in their past four games against losing teams. On the flip side, the Kings are 3-1-1 ATS in their past five games, and 4-1 ATS in their past five against winning teams.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 227.5 (-110) is the lean, but go lightly.
The Under is an impressive 21-10 in the past 31 for Dallas. Again, watch for the final injury report before making a determination. Even if everyone is healthy, the trends point to the Under which is also 4-1 in Sacto’s past five as a dog.
