Mavericks at Kings picks and predictions
Prediction
Kings 114, Mavericks 109
Moneyline
The Kings (-112) aren’t worth playing on the moneyline with such a small spread. There is no sense paying the extra juice when you can lay the little bit of points and pay less.
AVOID.
Against the spread
The KINGS -1 (-110) are slightly cheaper laying the little bit of points. Even if this line were to move to as many as 2 points, it’s still a better play to lay the points.
The Mavericks +1 (-110) have been on fire lately, going 8-1 ATS in the past 9 games, while winning the past 4 outings. However, Sacramento has been the kryptonite of Dallas, winning and covering both meetings to date, and each of those victories by the Kings came when the Mavericks are playing with no rest.
Over/Under
UNDER 233 (-110) is the play on Tuesday night in California’s capital city.
The Under cashed for both sides on Monday night in their respective games. In fact, Dallas has cashed the Under in 4 in a row, while going 6-1 in the past 7 outings. Sacramento went low Monday, cashing the Under for the 4th straight outing, while the Under is 8-1 in the past 9 games.
And in this series, the Under has cashed in 3 straight meetings, including both meetings this season, while hitting at a 7-3 pace in the past 10 encounters.
