These teams met in their last games where the Mavs got the win, handing the Kings their worst loss of the season. Dallas is hot as of late winning five in a row and nine of their last 10 games. On the other side of the coin Sacto is 6-4 in their last 10 games and had won two in a row before losing the last game. Fox struggled in the last game and Sabonis has not been scoring as of late. The Mavs will come out again and play well, especially on the defensive end of the floor, and they will not blow out the Kings but they will get the win and cover for their sixth win in a row. Want a second opinion on this pick? The total has gone Under for nine of the Kings last 10 games, including their last five, and that is the pick I am leaning towards in this game. Dallas killed it on both ends of the floor in their last game and they will play good D again facing a Kings’ team that has scoring issues from their two scorers. Sacto will play better in this game and not allow the Mavs to put up a high total. Still, they will not do so either and like the last game between these teams the Under is the pick.
