Mavericks vs Kings prediction
Both teams on the end of a back to back, the Kings should have the edge at home and not having to travel. The Kings have also won 3 of the last 4 games against the Mavericks. However, the free bucket with the Mavs is extremely appealing. The Mavericks have won 8 of their last 9 games, and they need to keep winning to stay out of the play-in tournament. The Mavs have also been getting things done with their defense lately, allowing 107 or fewer points in 6 of their last 7 games. We know what the Mavericks can do offensively, but if they're going to keep getting stops like that, they're dangerous. Give me the free bucket with the Mavs, a game they could win outright.
