Wizards at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 124, Wizards 107

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Mavericks (-1200), who are 15-13 at home, to beat the Wizards who are 6-20 on the road and 2-8 in their last 10 overall.

Against the spread

BET MAVERICKS -14.5 (-110).

Washington has failed to cover the spread in 6 of its last 10 games including 3 of its last 5 as a double-digit underdog. It has allowed at least 119 points in 4 of its last 6 and has scored 109 or fewer in 3 of its last 6. It faces a Mavs team that is coming off a blowout win at home and has covered in 3 of its 4 games as double-digit favorites this season. Dallas has covered in each of its last 4 games.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 248.5 (-110).

Washington has hit the Under in 8 of its last 10 games including 2 of its last 3 road games. It has scored 113 or fewer in 7 of its last 10. Dallas has hit the Under in 4 of its last 6 and has held opponents to 111 or fewer in each of its last 4 games.
