Lakers at Mavericks picks and predictions
Prediction
Lakers 117, Mavericks 102
Moneyline
The Mavs have missed Doncic for the last 6 games and Irving for 3 of the last 4. They are 10-6 at home, but have lost 3 of their last 5 home games. They are 6-6 with a rest disadvantage.
The Lakers are 8-10 on the road, but have won 3 of their last 4 road games. They are 6-4 with a rest advantage.
Missing Doncic and Irving will be an issue for again for the Mavericks, so expect the Lakers to pick up the road win, but -275 odds does not give you the value for a wager.
PASS.
Against the spread
The Lakers have covered the spread in 8 of their last 9 games. They are 8-0 ATS in their last 8 wins.
The Mavs have not covered the spread in a loss yet this season.
