Nets at Mavericks picks and predictions
Prediction
Mavericks 114, Nets 105
Moneyline
Considering the current odds, I’ll PASS on the moneyline in this game. The Mavericks (-260) should be able to take care of business at home against a shorthanded Nets squad, but the risk isn’t worth the reward.
Against the spread
Even if Simmons can return for the Nets, I like MAVERICKS -6.5 (-105) as they’ve looked better in recent games. Brooklyn won’t have any answers for G Luka Doncic, who has scored 31-plus points in each of his first 8 games of the season.
The Nets are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games against a team with a winning record and 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games following a win.
Over/Under
OVER 217.5 (-108) is the ideal wager in this game, even with Irving suspended and Simmons possibly sidelined for the Nets again. The Nets and the Mavericks squared off Oct. 27 in a game where Dallas won 129-125 in overtime.
The Over is 4-0 for the Mavericks in their last 4 games following an ATS loss.
