Dallas Mavericks vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
I don’t want to back the Kings as much as the next guy, but laying points with the Mavericks on the road doesn’t sound any better. The Mavs are 10 games below a .500 record and they’re 15-21 ATS on the season. The Kings have seen 5 of their 8 wins come at home, and they upset the Mavericks a couple of weeks ago as 3-point underdogs. The Kings have actually won 4 of the last 5 games against the Mavericks overall. The Mavs are 3-7 SU and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games. Decent sized favorites on the road? Not buying it. Give me the points with the Kings at home.
