Dallas Mavericks vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
The Sacramento Kings are getting the benefit of the doubt because they're at home and the Mavs are still down Luka. However, this line doesn't make sense. The Kings have lost 7 of their last 10 games, they're 10-21-1 ATS on the season, and they just fired their coach. We're also now slowly starting to see the Kings players' names in trade rumors. It's a complete mess in Sacramento. The Dallas Mavericks are still a decent team even without Luka, and they've won 6 of the last 9 games against the Kings. Give me the points.
