Lakers at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 118, Lakers 115

Moneyline

LEAN MAVERICKS (+110).

Dallas has won in 8 of its last 10 matchups with the Lakers. Los Angeles is very good defensively, but will have no answer for Doncic and really hasn't had the offense this year to keep up with that of the Mavericks. Both teams are hot, but LA has struggled on the road this year (4-7), which gives Dallas the slight advantage.

This should be a very close game that comes down to the wire.

Against the spread

LEAN MAVERICKS +2 (-110).

Dallas is 8-1-1 ATS in its last 10 overall matchups with LA and has covered ATS in all of 3 wins during this current streak. Neither team is great ATS, but Dallas is the better of the 2 as the Mavericks are 11-10 ATS on the year while LA is 11-12. Dallas' offense, especially if Irving is able to suit up, is what gives the Mavericks the advantage to cover here.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 235 (-110).

The Under has hit in 4 consecutive games for the Lakers and has hit in each of the last 4 meetings between these squads. The Under is also 7-3 in the last 10 Dallas-LA matchups. The Under is 14-9 for the Lakers on the season.
