Dallas is looking to bounce back after a disappointing loss in Portland
Dallas is in game three of their four-game road trip, and they have split the first two. Sacramento just fired their head coach, Mike Brown, amid controversy, so the Mavericks will face a dysfunctional Kings team on a night when they need all the help they can get. P.J. Washington will return after serving a one-game suspension, but Naji Marshall remains out for his. If Dallas is going to win as an underdog, they’re going to need a team effort against a squad that has had their number in recent years.

Venue: Golden 1 Center, Sacramento, CA.

- O/U 229 (-110/-110)
- Mavs ML: +150
Odds up to date as of 1:30 PM CST from DraftKings
Dallas is 12-5 on the over this season as the road team and 9-2 as an underdog. Tonight, they are road underdogs and are getting P.J. Washington back, who should help smooth out the offense. Take the over on 229 points.
Player Props
- P.J. Washington over 20.5 points + rebounds (-125)
- Demar DeRozan under 19.5 points (-130)
Washington has a good matchup in a fast-paced game where there will be plenty of rebounds to go around. DeRozan doesn’t shoot threes so scoring against Dallas’ staunch interior defense will be very tough.
Play of the Day
- Mavericks +4
With how well Kyrie Irving has played in big moments since Luka Doncic went down, the Mavericks are in a perfect spot for an upset. They are 6-3-1 against the spread as road underdogs this season and 7-3-1 after a loss. Take Dallas’ points and do not be surprised if Dallas wins straight up.
