Washington Wizards vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction
The Washington Wizards are probably the worst team in the league, and they're going to continue getting these crazy lines. I still can't get there with the Mavs who are still down several rotation players and now just saw Maxi Kleber go down with a broken foot. I can't lay double-digit chalk with a team so banged up. The Wizards have covered four of their last seven games as a double-digit underdog, for whatever that's worth. The Mavs have failed to cover six of their last nine games. There are just too many injuries for me to get involved with this number. It's the Wizards or pass for me.
