Play: Dallas -3 -110
Time: 10 p.m. ET
Reasoning:
The Mavericks have won five straight in the series and nine of the last
10 meetings. They are 7-4 and are scoring 105.7 ppg in the second games
of back-to-backs. On Wednesday Dallas led Golden State by as much as 22
points. On Tuesday Sacramento lost to the Warriors by 25. The Mavs are
21-4 vs. Bottom 16 teams and the Kings are 4-16 vs. Top 10 teams.
Sacramento received only 12 points from eight bench players vs. Golden
State. Kings star DeMarcus Cousins, who is dealing with an ankle injury,
will be guarded here by Tyson Chandler, a great defender. Chandler
poured in 21 points and grabbed 17 boards against the Warriors. Prior to
the loss to Golden State, Dallas surrendered just 86.3 ppg in its three
previous contests. The Mavs have advantages in shooting,
assist-to-turnover ratio, steals and blocks. Sacramento hasn't beaten a
Western Conference opponent since Jan. 7.
Record: 267-202-9 (56.9%)
Bankroll: +176.36%
