Mavericks at Nuggets picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 114, Mavericks 104

Moneyline

PASS.

The Nuggets (-180) should win, but there is no need to buy them down to the ML when they should cover relatively easily. The Mavericks have been horrible ATS on the road this season and should let up after an impressive win vs. the Suns.

Against the spread

BET NUGGETS -4.5 (-115).

The spread alone tells you what oddsmakers think of the Mavericks away from home. Dallas was a 3.5-point home favorite Monday vs. a Suns team that has the best record in the West and is now a 4.5-point underdog at the Nuggets.

Denver has been great at bouncing back after double-digit losses this season and should do so once again vs. the Mavericks Tuesday. Lay the points.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 222.5 (-110).

Denver plays much better defense at home than on the road. The Nuggets are 26th in defensive efficiency on the road, but their ranking jumps to 11th in the league when playing at Ball Arena.

The Under is 6-1 in Denver’s last 7 home games and 4-1 in its last 5 home games vs. teams with a losing road record.

The Under should hit Tuesday as Denver will have no problem containing a Mavericks team that is due for a let-down loss after defeating the Suns.

Dallas Mavericks at New York Knicks odds, picks and predictions

The Dallas Mavericks (10-11) face the New York Knicks (10-12) Saturday afternoon at Madison Square Garden. Tip is set for 12:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Mavericks vs. Knicks odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Mavericks at Knicks picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 111, Knicks 107

Moneyline

The MAVERICKS (-120) are worth a look on the money line, as the Knicks (+100) have struggled against Western Conference teams.

In fact, New York has lost all 3 of its home games at MSG against the Western Conference this season, while going 1-4 SU in the past 5 games against the West overall.

Against the spread

The MAVERICKS -1.5 (-110) have lost and failed to cover the past 6 games on the road since winning in Brooklyn Oct. 27. So, this isn’t a slam-dunk play by any means.

But the Knicks +1.5 (-110) are also in freefall, dropping their past 4 games at home, while going 0-3-1 ATS during the span. Someone has to win and cover, and Dallas is the deeper side.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 225.5 (-110).

The Under might be the best play on the board in this matinee action. An early afternoon game in New York City will have both of these teams a little sluggish.

Yes, these teams have each cashed the Over rather frequently lately, but the Under is 10-1 in the past 11 for the Mavs against losing teams, while going 6-1 in the past 7 for the Knicks against sub-.500 teams. And the Under is 6-1 in the past 7 meetings, with the Under going a perfect 6-for-6 in the previous 6 meetings at MSG.

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

The Golden State Warriors (11-10) and Dallas Mavericks (9-10) meet Tuesday at American Airlines Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Warriors vs. Mavericks odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Warriors covered the spread as 1.5-point favorites in a 137-114 win at the Minnesota Timberwolves Sunday. G Stephen Curry finished with a team-high 25 points and game-high 11 rebounds as Golden State covered as a road favorite for the 1st time this season.

The Warriors are 2-5 straight up as road favorites.

The Mavericks failed to cover as 6-point underdogs in a 124-115 loss at the Milwaukee Bucks Sunday. Dallas has lost 5 of its last 6 games and is 1-13-1 against the spread (ATS) in its last 15 games.

Warriors at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 129, Mavericks 110

Moneyline

PASS.

I expect the Warriors (-120) to win, but there is no need to pay the extra 10 cents on the ML when Golden State should win by margin. Bet the spread or the total instead.

Against the spread

BET WARRIORS -1.5 (-110).

The Mavericks will eventually stop being overvalued by the market and start to cover spreads, but they’re running into the Warriors at the wrong time. The Warriors are averaging 129.3 points in their last 4 games when Curry starts and are 2-0 straight up in their last 2 road games. Lay the points.

Over/Under

BET OVER 227.5 (-110).

The Warriors are the 2nd-highest scoring team in the league over the last 3 games, averaging 130.0 points per contest. The Over is 4-0 in the last 4 games that Curry has started, and I expect this trend to continue Tuesday in Dallas where the Over is 9-2 in the last 11 head-to-head meetings.

Mavericks at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 110, Mavericks 101

Moneyline

Dallas struggles on the road. They are 1-6 so far this season away from home, while the Bucks are 10-2 at home. The Mavs’ only road was was their season opener in Phoenix. They have lost their last 6 road games.

The Bucks and Mavs each split their home and road games last season in their 4 meetings.

However, a moneyline bet on the favorite here won’t make you much money. It isn’t worth the action.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Mavericks have failed to cover the spread in 9 of their last 10 games. They have only covered the spread once this season as an underdog — their season opener. They are 4-13-1 ATS overall.

The Bucks are 11-7 ATS overall and 3-2 ATS at home. Four of their last 5 wins have been by more than 6 points.

BET BUCKS -6.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The trends say take the Under.

The Under is 6-0 in the last 6 games for the Bucks that followed an ATS win. The Under is 4-0 in games following when the Bucks win by at least 10 — they won their last game by 15.

The Under has hit in 7 of the Bucks last 8 games following a win.

They are 8-10 O/U this season.

Dallas Mavericks at Toronto Raptors picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Dallas Mavericks at Toronto Raptors odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Dallas Mavericks (9-8) visit Scotiabank Arena Saturday to face the Toronto Raptors (9-9). Tip-off is at 5 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Mavericks vs. Raptors odds, and our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Both teams are coming into tonight’s game on a 2-game losing streak.

The Mavericks began their road trip Wednesday with a 125-112 loss to the Boston Celtics, despite G Luka Doncic’s 42 points, Dallas never really led in this game.

The Raptors lost to the Brooklyn Nets 112-98. Toronto shot just 7-for-29 from beyond the arc and had half as many assists as the Nets (32 vs 16). It’s a long season, but no one wants to lose 3 games in a row.

The Raptors are dealing with an unfortunate string of injuries that appear to continue into this game.

Mavericks at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 114, Raptors 102

Moneyline

The trends favor the Raptors. But Toronto will be down 2 of its top 5 scorers, and a 3rd is questionable. The Raptors will also be missing their top 3 rebounders.

Dallas is also the better-shooting team. They are 3rd in the league in 2pt percentage (57.2%) while Toronto gives up the 2nd-worst team against the 2pt shot.

BET MAVERICKS (-135)

Against the spread

Both teams are .500 ATS after a loss, Toronto is 4-4 while Dallas is 3-3-1. And while the Mavericks have not covered in 5 straight games coming off of 2 days rest, they should be able to handle an incredibly injured Toronto team.

BET MAVERICKS -2.5 (-110)

Over/Under

After a loss, the Mavericks are an NBA leading 7-0 towards the Over. And the Raptors have hit the over 6 of their last 7 games following games where they lost and didn’t cover.

Mavericks at Celtics picks and predictions

Prediction

Celtics 113, Mavericks 108

Moneyline

The Celtics (-190) will cost almost 2 times your potential return, and that’s way too much for a standalone wager. If you were to toss the Celtics in a parlay of 5 or more teams, that’s about the only way this bet would make any sense.

PASS.

Against the spread

MAVERICKS +4.5 (-105) is worth a look here.

The Celtics -4.5 (-115) are just 3-6 ATS in the last 9 games when favored by 5 or more points, including the last time out in Chicago.

Oddly enough, Dallas has been an underdog just once all season, and it covered as a 4-point road ‘dog in Phoenix in the regular-season opener on Oct. 19.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 218.5 (-110), but go very, very lightly.

The Under is 3-1 in the last 4 games overall for the Mavericks, while going 4-1 in their last 5 games against team with a winning overall mark.

The Under is also 3-1-1 in the last 5 games overall for the Celtics, while going 3-0-1 in the last 4 against teams with a winning record. And the Under has cashed at a 4-0-1 clip in the previous 5 meetings in this series, while going 5-1 in the last 6 battles in Boston.

Denver Nuggets at Dallas Mavericks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Denver Nuggets at Dallas Mavericks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Denver Nuggets (9-6) play the 2nd game of 2 at the Dallas Mavericks (9-6) Sunday at American Airlines Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Nuggets vs. Mavericks odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Nuggets are on a 2-game skid, including a 127-99 loss as 10-point underdogs at the Mavericks Friday. The lack of defense hurt Denver as it was outscored in every quarter, including 44-28 in the 2nd. It didn’t help that 3 starters were out — leading scorer C Nikola Jokic (20.8 points per game) and PG Jamal Murray (16.5 PPG) were in health and safety protocols, while F Aaron Gordon (14.5 PPG) didn’t play due to a non-COVID 19 illness.

Dallas wraps up a 5-game homestand in which is it 3-1 straight up but just 1-3 against the spread (1-3). G Luka Doncic carried the Mavs in the Friday victory — the lone cover in the stand — finishing with 33 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, while F Christian Wood added 28 points off the bench.

Nuggets at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 118, Nuggets 103

Moneyline

AVOID.

The Mavericks (-450) should win, but it’s not worth risking 4.5 times your potential profit.

The Mavericks have been playing at an extremely high level with an MVP favorite in Doncic and a Sixth Man of the Year favorite in F Tim Hardaway Jr. Their inconsistency on offense does worry, me but their defense has been much improved this season, which makes up for them being a top-heavy team.

Against the spread

BET MAVERICKS -9.5 (-115).

Doncic is simply too good for the Nuggets to stop. They have no one who can really guard him and their team is far too reliant on Jokic. The Mavericks seem like they are on a mission after losing in the Western Conference Finals last season. Meanwhile, the Nuggets, while they have looked solid, have not looked as spectacular as many fans expected. Expect another double-digit win for the Mavericks in this one.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 217.5 (-110).

The Nuggets have a good offense and a terrible defense, and the Mavericks have just the opposite. The offense for the Mavericks revolves around Doncic, which while risky, has been working very well for them as he continues his MVP campaign. This bet could honestly go either way, but with the Denver’s 2 best offensive players in Jokic and Murray out, the Under is the way to go.

Denver Nuggets at Dallas Mavericks odds, picks and predictions

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

The Denver Nuggets (9-5) visit the American Airlines Center Friday to take on the Dallas Mavericks (8-6). Tip is set for 8:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Nuggets vs. Mavericks odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Nuggets are coming into this game down many of their key scorers, including 2-time MVP C Nikola Jokic, who leads the team in points, rebounds and assists.

The Nuggets are 6-8 against the spread (ATS) this season and 5-4 straight up on the road. Denver has failed to cover in 4 of its last 5 games. It is 0-1 ATS in its last 10 as an underdog.

The Mavs are led by star G Luka Doncic, arguably the MVP frontrunner at this point in the season, Doncic is averaging 34.4 points, 7.8 assists, and 8.8 rebounds per game.

Crazy enough, the Mavs have failed to cover 8 straight games and are 0-9-1 ATS in their last 10 despite winning 6 of those straight up. Dallas is 8-6 O/U this season as well.

Nuggets at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 112, Nuggets 102

Moneyline

PASS.

Given Dallas is at home and has struggled over their last 10 games, the -400 is unplayable. Denver +325 has some value, but not enough to consider with Murray and Jokic out.

Against the spread

BET MAVERICKS -9.5 (+100).

The Mavericks’ luck ATS should come to an end soon, and the Jokic-less Nuggets should struggle to score and keep pace with Doncic and company.

Denver’s key strength isn’t in its rebounding or turnovers but rather efficiency, and without its 2 key distributors, I expect them to struggle to generate offense.

The Nuggets are also an awful defensive team, ranking 23rd in defensive rating. The Mavericks sit 5th and should be able to heavily limit what a shorthanded Nuggets offense can generate.

Back the Mavericks -9.5 (+100).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 215.5 (-110).

The Mavericks rank last in the NBA in pace, and there’s really no reason they should want to push the pace.

The Nuggets, on the other hand, already sit 13th, so there isn’t much improvement to be had there. Even if G Bones Hyland and company push the pace, Dallas should halt those efforts.

Neither team grabs many offensive boards, and the Mavs have the fourth-lowest turnover rate which means possessions will likely be longer as well. Dallas had gone Under in 2 straight and in 4 of its last 6.

Clippers at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 106, Clippers 101

Moneyline

PASS.

The Mavericks (-280) should win, but their ML is too expensive to bet considering the Clippers are 4-1 straight up in the last 4 head-to-head meetings in Dallas. I will only be betting on the spread and the total.

Against the spread

BET CLIPPERS +6.5 (-101).

Los Angeles has played well in Dallas lately and looked extra focused at the Rockets Monday after a horrendous 4th quarter vs. the Brooklyn Nets Saturday (allowed a 26-9 run to end the game). While the Mavericks are 6-4 straight up in their last 10 games, they’ve only won 1 game in that stretch by 7 or more points.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 212.5 (-112).

The Clippers bounce back after sub-par performances defensively. The Under is 12-3 in Los Angeles’ last 15 games after allowing 100 or more points in its previous game. While the Clippers won by 16 at Houston, Los Angeles still allowed 106 points vs. the team with the worst record in the NBA. Expect the Clippers to tighten up defensively Tuesday and help the Under hit.

Trail Blazers at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Trail Blazers 108, Mavericks 104

Moneyline

The Blazers are 6-1 on the road this season and have won their last 3 games overall.

The Mavs are 4-1 at home this season and have won 4 straight on their home court.

Both teams are strong defensively, ranked 3rd and 4th in points allowed — Portland at 106.6 and Dallas at 106.7.

Both teams average just over 109 points per game, making it a very even matchup.

With as well as Portland is playing overall and with G Damian Lillard back in the lineup, I like the potential payout for an upset win.

BET TRAIL BLAZERS (+160).

Against the spread

The Blazers are 10-2 ATS this season and 8-2 ATS as the underdog, but they won 7 of those outright.

The Mavs are 3-7-1 ATS.

However, with the much better payout on the moneyline for the Blazers, stick with that bet and PASS on the spread tonight for this game.

Over/Under

The Over has hit only 3 times in the Trail Blazers’ 12 games this season. Only 1 of their games on this road trip has had more than 215 points.

Four of the Mavs’ last 6 games have had totals of under 216.

BET UNDER 217.5 (-110).
