Mavericks at Wizards picks and predictions
Prediction
Mavericks 112, Wizards 105
Moneyline
The Mavericks (-155) are slightly favored on the road, but the odds for them to win aren’t worth taking straight up. I’ll go ahead and PASS on taking the moneyline in this game unless I’m including Dallas in a parlay.
Against the spread
MAVERICKS -3.5 (-110) is where I’m leaning in this game despite Dallas losing to Orlando Wednesday. G Luka Doncic had his 1st game where he scored fewer than 30 points against the Magic and Beal is sidelined for Washington.
The Mavericks are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings against the Wizards in Washington.
Over/Under
Even with the Wizards having the 6th-worst offensive rating in the NBA, OVER 208.5 (-108) is an enticing wager. The Mavericks have the 8th-best offensive rating in the league and Doncic could be in store for a special performance Thursday.
The Over has hit in 6 of the 8 meetings between the Mavericks and the Wizards in Washington and has hit in 4 of the last 5 meetings overall.
