Clippers at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 106, Clippers 103

Moneyline

PASS.

The Mavericks are too expensive to play outright as a moneyline favorite. -196 is just too steep to take here. The Clippers (+162) have a bit of value as a moneyline underdog, but the preferred play is them on the spread.

Against the spread

BET CLIPPERS +4.5 (-108).

The Mavericks don’t have an elite defense, ranked 18th in defensive rating during the season. Dallas held G Norman Powell and G Russell Westbrook to 4-for-19 shooting. Expect those players to shoot better, and the Clippers to shoot over the 36.8% that they did in Game 2.

LA is getting too many points as it has a regular-season win in Dallas this season. The Mavericks were the 2nd-best covering team in the NBA at 49-35 ATS but were just 21-20 ATS at home this season. As long as 2-time NBA Champion F Kawhi Leonard plays — keep an eye on his status — the Clippers should be able to keep things close.

For this value, back CLIPPERS +4.5 (-108).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 211.5 (-110).

This series has been played at an ultra-slow tempo with the Mavericks ending Game 2 with 76 shots (they averaged 89.7 during the regular season. The Clippers sit 20th in pace, so they won’t want to play any faster.

Neither team hits the glass at a high rate to produce second-chance efforts and easy buckets. The Mavs rank 25th in offensive rebounding rate with the Clippers 17th.

Dallas was 36-46 O/U on the season and have gone Under in 5 straight games and in 8 of its last 10. The Clippers were 38-44 O/U on the season and have gone Under in 4 straight games and in 8 of their last 11.

Considering those trends, take UNDER 211.5 (-110).

Dallas Mavericks at LA Clippers Game 2 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Dallas Mavericks at LA Clippers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Dallas Mavericks and LA Clippers meet in Game 2 of a best-of-7 Western Conference 1st-round series Tuesday. The Clippers lead the series 1-0. Tip-off from Crypto.com Arena is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (TNT). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Mavericks vs. Clippers odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

LA beat the Mavericks 109-97 Sunday while covering as a 3-point home underdog. G James Harden (28 points and 8 assists) and C Ivica Zubac (20 points and 15 rebounds) showed out for the Clippers in the absence of F Kawhi Leonard (knee).

The Mavs allowed the Clippers to shoot 46% from the field and 50% from deep (18 of 36) in Sunday’s loss. Dallas really struggled to get things going offensively, shooting only 38.8% from the field and 30.3% from beyond the arc (10 of 33).

Mavericks at Clippers picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 107, Clippers 105

Moneyline

BET MAVERICKS (-140).

LA didn’t do anything too special in its Game 1 win, it simply just looked like the Clippers’ shots were falling, while Dallas’ weren’t. I don’t expect that to happen in back-to-back games, and I also do not expect Harden and Zubac to carry the Clippers again.

LA may still be without its best player in Leonard, making the Mavericks automatically the safer bet.

Against the spread

LEAN CLIPPERS +2.5 (-110).

Los Angeles has covered the spread in each of its last 3 matchups vs. Dallas and is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings. The Clippers are also 3-1 ATS in the last 4 meetings in LA.

This is a lean because the Clippers are only 1-3 ATS in their last 4 games.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 217.5 (-110).

The Under has hit in 4 consecutive games for the Mavericks and is 7-3 in their last 10.

For Los Angeles, the Under has hit in 3 straight outings and is 4-1 in its last 5 games.

The Under has also hit in each of the last 3 Dallas-LA matchups and is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings.

I expect the Clippers to get a lot less offense from Harden and Zubac in this one, which makes the Under an even safer bet.

The Dallas Mavericks (49-30) pay a visit to the Miami Heat (44-35) Wednesday. Tip-off from Kaseya Center is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Mavericks at Heat odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Dallas leads 1-0 with a 114-108 home win on March 7

Dallas routed the Charlotte Hornets 130-104 Tuesday while covering as a 12.5-point road favorite. G Luka Doncic had a triple-double with 39 points on 13-of-25 shooting, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. The Mavs have won 4 straight games.

Miami picked up a 117-111 win in double overtime over the Atlanta Hawks Tuesday while covering as a 3.5-point road favorite. G Tyler Herro scored 33 points while F Jimmy Butler added 25 and F Nikola Jovic scored 23. The Heat are 2-1 in their last 3 with 3 consecutive covers.

Mavericks at Heat picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 110, Heat 103

Moneyline

PASS.

Dallas should win, but it’s not worth the risk. Look to the spread and/or total.

Against the spread

LEAN MAVERICKS -6 (-106).

Dallas has won each of its last 4 games and is 9-1 in its last 10 games. The Mavericks are also 5-1 in their last 6 road games. Dallas has won 3 of its last 4 matchups vs. the Heat and are 2-1 in the last 3 meetings in Miami.

Both the Heat (6-3-1) and the Mavericks (9-1) have been very good ATS in their last 10, which makes it hard to make a confident pick here.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 215 (-110).

The Under has hit in 4 of Dallas’ last 6 road games and is 7-3 in its last 10 overall. The Under has been safer for both teams this season, being 43-36 for Dallas and 46-33 for the Heat. The Under has also hit in 3 of the last 4 Dallas-Miami matchups.

Be aware the Over has hit in 7 consecutive games for the Heat.

Dallas Mavericks at Charlotte Hornets odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Dallas Mavericks at Charlotte Hornets odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Dallas Mavericks (48-30) open a 2-game Eastern Confernece road trip against the Charlotte Hornets (19-59) on Tuesday. Tip-off at Spectrum Center is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Mavericks vs. Hornets odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Mavericks lead 1-0; Mavs won 124-118 on Nov. 5, but Hornets covered as 11.5-point underdogs as Over (235.5) cashed

The Mavericks head into Charlotte on a 3-game win and cover streak, including a high-scoring 147-136 OT win against the Houston Rockets last time out on Sunday as the Over (227.5) connected.

The Mavs have won 10 of the past 11 games, while covering 8 of the past 9 outings, while Dallas is 14-2 against the spread (ATS) in the past 16 games. The Mavericks have hit the Under in 3 of the past 4 outings, and 9-2 in the previous 11 contests.

The Hornets have actually given the Mavericks trouble in recent seasons, winning 3 of the past 4 in the series, while covering 4 in a row, including the past 3 as a double-digit underdog. The Under is 5-2 in the past 7 in the series.

Charlotte hasn’t really given anyone trouble in the win-loss column, posting just 2 wins in the past 12 contests. However, Charlotte is a respectable 4-1 ATS in the past 5 games, including 3 straight covers as a double-digit underdog.

Mavericks at Hornets picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 115, Hornets 105

Moneyline

The Mavericks (-850) will set you back 8 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not enough reward. Dallas should be able to pound the Hornets (+590), but over the years the Mavs have had trouble with them, particularly in the Queen City. Regardless, there is never a reason to bet such a heavy favorite, straight up, or even as part of a multi-team parlay.

PASS.

Against the spread

The HORNETS +13 (-110) haven’t won a lot of games lately, but they have shown some backbone when an underdog of 7.5 or more points, covering 5 of the past 6 games when catching more than 3 buckets.

Charlotte has managed to win 3 of the past 4 games in this series outright, and it covered a double-digit spread in Dallas earlier this season, too.

Over/Under

UNDER 223 (-110) has been a strong play in games involving the Mavericks for a while now.

The total has gone low in 3 of the past 4 games for Dallas, while going 11-3 in the past 14 games since March 11. The Under is also 5-1 in the past 6 games on the road for the Mavs, while going 3-1 in the previous 4 tries against teams from the Eastern Conference.

For the Hornets, the Over is 4-1 in the past 5 games, as the offense has picked up lately. However, Charlotte has allowed 115 or fewer points in 5 of the past 8 games, and it should struggle to produce against Dallas.

The Houston Rockets (38-39) pay a visit to the Dallas Mavericks (47-30) Sunday. Tip-off from American Airlines Center is set for 3:30 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Rockets vs. Mavericks odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Dallas leads 2-1

Houston suffered a 119-104 home loss vs. the Miami Heat Friday and failed to cover as a 3-point road underdog. The Rockets allowed the Heat to shoot 49.4% from the field, while only shooting 37.8% from the field themselves in the loss. The loss was Houston’s 4th in a row after it ran off 11 wins in a row.

Rockets at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 114, Rockets 104

Moneyline

PASS.

The Mavericks will pick up the win, but they are not worth the risk of betting on as -290 favorites. Back the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET MAVERICKS -7 (-110).

Dallas has covered the spread in back-to-back games and is 7-1 ATS in its last 8 outings, while the Rockets are only 1-4 ATS in their last 5. The Mavs have also covered in 2 of their last 3 matchups vs. the Rockets and are 6-4 ATS in the last 10 of the series, dating back to January 2022.

Plus, the Mavericks are 3-1 ATS in their last 4 home meetings vs. the Rockets.

Be aware that if Doncic doesn’t play, this becomes a riskier bet.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 226.5 (-110).

The Under is 3-0 in the Mavericks’ last 3 games and is 9-1 in their last 10. The Under has also hit in 6 of the last 9 matchups between these squads.

The Under has been the much safer play for Dallas this season at 43-34.

However, be warned. The Over has been a dominant 8-2 in Houston’s last 10 games.

The Mavs are feeling it, too, winners of 8 of 10. After the defeat in the Bay, they clipped the Atlanta Hawks 109-95 Thursday night. G Luka Doncic had 25 points, 12 boards and 8 assists while G Kyrie Irving scored 26 points.

Warriors at Mavericks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 111, Mavs 109

Moneyline

Both of these teams are on the back end of back-to-backs. You’d expect Golden State, the older team, to be weaker in such circumstances. They’re actually 10-5 while Dallas is 7-5 on no rest.

The Warriors are 3 games out of getting out of the Play-In Tournament cesspool. They have more to play for right now.

Take the value with WARRIORS +165.

Against the spread

The Mavs have won 2 of 3 against the Dubs, and the status of Kuminga is a big deal. So while we’re taking the value on the ML, I don’t think it’s wise to double up with the spread. While Dallas is 8-2 straight up over the last 10, they’re 8-2 ATS as well.

This may seem preposterous, but I’m taking STEPHEN CURRY UNDER 4.5 3-POINTERS (-155). This is his 7th game in 10 days, and in those 6 games, he hit 5+ 3’s once. He went 3-for-5 against Dallas 3 days ago. He’s just not chucking them like he usually does.

Over/Under

Dallas is 2-8 O/U over the last 10, and Golden State is 5-5. The Over is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings, but the Under has hit in both matchups this year.

That’s where we’re going here. The totals were 231.5 and 233, and the finals didn’t come close. Take the UNDER 225.5 (-110).

Season series: Mavericks lead 1-0

The Mavericks beat the Hawks in Atlanta 148-143 on Jan. 26, covering as a 2-point road underdog. The Over 245.5 hit with ease.

Dallas lost to the Golden State Warriors 104-100 Tuesday, failing to cover as a 1-point home underdog. The loss snapped a 7-game winning streak.

The Hawks beat the Detroit Pistons 121-113 Wednesday, failing to cover as a 12-point home favorite. They have won 6 of their last 7 and are 5-2 ATS in that stretch. Atlanta is 28-48 ATS on the season. It is led by G Dejounte Murray, who is averaging 22.6 points.

Hawks at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 123, Hawks 114

Moneyline

PASS.

The Hawks (+430) are already without several key players and will be on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. They should have tired legs and aren’t worth the wager as a huge underdog. Similarly, the Mavs (-590) are far too expensive to play outright.

Against the spread

BET HAWKS +11 (-108).

Atlanta had high expectations coming into the season, and it hasn’t hit many of those ceilings. However, it has been good when counted out. The Hawks are 4-0 ATS this season when an underdog of 9.5 or greater, winning outright in 3 of those games.

Two of those came against the Eastern Conference-leading Boston Celtics and were within the last 2 weeks. Since the start of March, Dallas is just 1-1 ATS as a favorite of 9 or greater.

That said, expect Atlanta to continue exceeding expectations and take HAWKS +11 (-108).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 230.5 (-110).

The Hawks are 8-1 O/U in their last 9 games, scoring at least 113 in every game since March 21 (8 games). They have allowed 122 or more points in 3 of those as well. Atlanta ranks 27th in defensive rating, making it unlikely it can slow down Doncic and company.

The Mavs have swayed the other way and are 2-7 O/U in their last 9, but have tallied at least 125 in 2 of their last 4. The Mavs should get theirs, and the Hawks have been playing well enough to assume they can stay hot.

Take OVER 230.5 (-110).

Dallas Mavericks at Golden State Warriors odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Dallas Mavericks at Golden State Warriors odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Dallas Mavericks (45-29) wrap up a 5-game road trip on Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors (40-33). Tip-off at Chase Center is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (TNT). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Mavericks vs. Warriors odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Mavericks lead 2-0; Dallas is 2-0 against the spread (ATS), with the Over-Under splitting 1-1

The Mavs enter on a 7-game winning streak, while covering the past 5 outings. The Over cashed in Houston (229.5) in a 125-107 win on Sunday, halting a 6-0 run to the Under.

The Mavs are 11-1 ATS in the past 12 outings, while the total has gone low in 8 of the past 10 games for Dallas. That includes a 109-99 win as 8.5-point favorites as the Under (233) cashed in the most recent meeting with the Warriors in the Metroplex on March 13.

The Warriors have won 4 straight games, their longest success streak since rattling off 5 straight wins from Feb. 5-12. Golden State is 3-1 ATS in the win streak, although it failed to cover in a 117-113 win last time out in San Antonio on Sunday as the Over (228.5) cashed. The Under is 3-1 in the past 4 outings.

Dallas holds a slight 4-3 SU edge in the past 7 meetings, but the Mavericks have covered 5 straight. The Over is 6-1 across the past 7 battles in this series, although that lone Under was in the most recent meeting on March 13.

Mavericks at Warriors picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 118, Warriors 108

Moneyline

The MAVERICKS (-110) are a solid play on the road, as Dallas looks to cap off its road trip at a perfect 5-0 SU. The Mavs have actually won 5 in a row on the road, and 8 of the past 10 away from home, too.

The Warriors (-110) have been playing good ball lately, too, and wins in Miami and Orlando in the past week were impressive. But 2 of the 4 victories on the 5-game road trip came in Charlotte and San Antonio against bad basketball teams, so do the recent winning ways for the Warriors mean things are turning around? We’ll find out a lot on Tuesday. With Kuminga carrying a questionable tag, and Saric out, it could be a tough outing for the Dubs.

Against the spread

The MAVERICKS +1.5 (-120) are worth playing if you need a little insurance although the moneyline is a better value.

Dallas has covered the past 5 games, including road wins against Houston, Sacramento (x2) and Utah, and it cashed in Oklahoma City on March 14 as a 9.5-point underdog. The Mavs are 11-1 ATS in the past 12 games, and getting the job done against some of the top teams in the league lately.

Over/Under

UNDER 232.5 (-115) is worth a look. While the Over has cashed in 6 of the past 7 meetings in this series, we had a low-scoring game in Dallas in the most recent meeting 3 weeks ago.

It’s been all about the Under for the Mavs lately, going 8-2 across the past 10 outings, allowing 107 or fewer points in 7 straight, and 9 of the past 10 contests.

The Dubs have also been on an Under run recently, going 3-1 in the past 4 games, and 4-2 across the past 6 outings.

Mavericks at Rockets picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 117, Rockets 112

Moneyline

PASS.

The Mavericks have been just as hot as the Rockets and should have a size advantage with Houston down many key big men. Dallas should be able to come out on top, and the better value is on the spread, not the moneyline.

Against the spread

BET MAVERICKS -2.5 (-112).

Dallas has covered in 8 of its last 10 games on the road and in 3 straight away games. It has covered as a road favorite in 4 of its last 5. While the Rockets have also been on fire, they haven’t taken down many quality opponents.

They are 2-1 ATS but 1-2 straight up in their last 3 home games as an underdog. Houston will be down its leading scorer with its 2 other top-3 options shooting under 43% from the field. Against 2 better, more efficient guards, this will be a tough matchup for the Rockets.

Take MAVERICKS -2.5 (-112).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 230.5 (-112).

The Rockets have gone Under in 2 of their last 3 games while the Mavericks have gone Under in 6 in a row.

The Rockets are 34-38-1 O/U on the season. Dallas has strengthened its defense and has allowed 107 or fewer in all 6 games, holding 2 of its last 4 opponents to Under 100. The Mavs are 33-40 O/U on the season.

Given the season-long and recent trends for both teams, take UNDER 230.5 (-112).

Dallas Mavericks at Sacramento Kings odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Dallas Mavericks at Sacramento Kings odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Dallas Mavericks (43-29) face the Sacramento Kings (42-30) for the 2nd game in a row on the road Friday night. Tip-off is at 10 p.m. ET at Golden 1 Center. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Mavericks vs. Kings odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Kings lead 2-1

The Mavericks have won 5 straight games and 9 of their last 10 overall. They beat the Kings on Tuesday 132-96 as 1-point road underdogs as G Krie Irving, G Luke Doncic and G Tim Hardaway Jr. all scored 22 points or more. They currently hold the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference, the final guaranteed playoff spot, by a half-game over the Phoenix Suns.

The Kings’ loss on Tuesday to the Mavs snapped a 2-game winning streak. They have won 4 of 6 and 6 of 9. They are 8th in the West, half a game behind Phoenix and would have to play the Suns on the road in a play-in game if the season ended today.

Mavericks at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 111, Mavericks 108

Moneyline

The Mavs are red hot, having won 9 of their last 10 games, but the Kings have not lost consecutive games in over a month, last losing 2 in a row on Feb. 26 and 28. The Kings also have not lost consecutive home games in a homestand all season. They will bounce back.

The Kings are 21-14 at home and the Mavs have the identical road mark.

Since the odds for the win are nearly identical to the odds to cover, don’t risk the possibility of a 1-point win.

BET KINGS (-115).

Against the spread

The Kings have covered the spread in 5 of their last 6 wins while the Mavs are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games.

But this game is nearly a pick’em.

A matchup like this is perfect for picking the moneyline. And while the Mavs are the hotter team, as mentioned, the Kings have not lost consecutive games in a homestand.

You can stick to the moneyline or get a few more bucks with KINGS -1.5 (-105).

Either bet is fine.

Over/Under

Their 1st 2 meetings this season surpassed 230 total points. The total fell just shy of that on Tuesday with 228.

The Mavs have not allowed more than 107 points in their last 5 games and in 7 of their last 8.

The Kings have not surpassed 109 in their last 4.

BET UNDER 232.5 (-115).
