After having been off since Monday night’s 106-102 loss to the Miami Heat, it’s time for the Dallas Mavericks to get back to work. Tonight, it’s the final group stage game in the NBA Cup, as the Mavericks travel to Los Angeles to face off against Luka Doncic and the Lakers. The Lakers ae sitting very nicely in the NBA Cup, with a 3-0 record and the chance to have a home game in the quarterfinals. The Mavericks are eliminated at 1-2, but as we know the result still counts in the regular season race.

How will Luka attack his former team? What does Anthony Davis have in store for his return? Who respects the NBA Cup? Let’s get into it.

Yes, we each whiffed on our own picks, but the power of teamwork is undefeated and that is what we will hang our hat on moving forward.

Moneyline: The Mavericks are +315 to pull off the upset

Game under 231.5 points (-108)

Luka Doncic to record a triple-double (+400)

Anthony Davis under 30.5 points + rebounds + assists (-110)

There is no real reason that the Mavericks should keep this game close, but there also wasn’t much reason they would be able to stay attached to Miami, either. I do expect this game to be a grind though, so I will take the under. Luka to record a triple double at this value is outrageous. And finally, Anthony Davis returns on a minutes restriction, and I think we’ll see it be lower than you’d think.

Luka Doncic over 33.5 points (-112)

Klay Thompson to make 3+ threes (+112)

Anthony Davis under 18.5 points (-112)

Austin Reaves to score 25+ points (+176)

Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves have an incredible matchup tonight. The Mavericks’ guards are atrocious defensively and if Cooper Flagg guards Doncic at all, the rookie will get worked. Klay will get his shots up in his hometown of Los Angeles and Anthony Davis is untrustworthy to be efficient after an extended absence. He had 13 points the last time these teams met in April.
