Mavericks at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 129, Wizards 121

Moneyline

PASS.

At -250 odds, the Mavericks are 4-2 on the road this season, while the Wizards are just 1-2 at home and have struggled. There is no value in a moneyline play for Dallas.

Against the spread

LEAN MAVERICKS -6.5 (-105).

While the Wizards have won and covered as underdogs in the last 4 meetings between these teams dating back to Nov. 2021, this is a different and much less experienced Wizards team. They are young, have not figured out how to close games, and are on a 3-game skid.

The Mavs, led by Doncic and Irving, are able to score at will and will find ways to expose the Washington defense. Expect Dallas to bounce back from its blowout loss Tuesday with a solid win against a struggling Wizards team.

Over/Under

BET OVER 245.5 (-105).

As it stands, this total (245.5) is the highest in the last 10 games for both Dallas and Washington, but Dallas sports a 9-2 Over record and Washington's is 7-3. Both these teams have a tendency to push the ball.

Washington has scored at least 117 points in 4 of its last 7 games. Dallas has scored at least 136 in 2 of its last 3 outings and at least 116 in 5 of its last 6.
