Mavericks vs Kings prediction
Big game for the Mavs and Kings as both teams are fighting to stay out of the play-in tournament. The Kings have the edge because they're at home, but as I said on Tuesday when these teams played, the Mavs are simply the better team. The Mavericks won that game 132-96. The Mavericks are just a team on a mission, as they've won 9 of their last 10 games and have covered 9 of those games as well. Wrong team favored? It feels like it again. Give me the free bucket and the Mavericks on the road.
Randy’s Pick Dallas Mavericks +1.5
