We’re back with another betting prediction and pick for this upcoming NBA Tuesday slate as we turn attention towards the Western Conference for this next tilt. The\u00a0Dallas Mavericks (13-23) will take on the\u00a0Sacramento Kings (8-28) as the Kings lead the season series 1-0. Check our NBA odds series<\/a> for the Mavericks-Kings prediction and pick.<\/p>\n The Dallas Mavericks occupy the 12-spot in the Western Conference standings, most recently upsetting the Houston Rockets 110-104. The victory broke a four-game losing skid, but the Mavs are still just 3-7 over their last 10 games. They’ll have a chance to gain some ground as the betting favorites in this one.<\/p>\n The Sacramento Kings are 14th in the Western Conference after losing their last game 115-98 to the Milwaukee Bucks. They’ve sunken into another five-game losing streak, posting a 2-11 record over their last 13 games. Once again, they’re billed as home underdogs searching for a win.<\/p>\n NBA odds courtesy of DraftKings<\/a><\/p>\n Mavericks vs. Kings Odds<\/p>\n Dallas Mavericks: -5.5 (-105)<\/p>\n Sacramento Kings: +5.5 (-115)<\/p>\n Over: 233.5 (-108)<\/p>\n Under: 233.5 (-112)<\/p>\n Mavericks vs. Kings Key Injuries<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n Dallas: PJ Washington (ankle \u2013 Doubtful) \/ Dante Exum (knee \u2013 OUT) \/ Kyrie Irving (knee \u2013 OUT) \/ Dereck Lively II (foot \u2013 OUT)<\/p>\n Sacramento: Keegan Murray (ankle \u2013 OUT) \/ Domantas Sabonis<\/a> (knee \u2013 OUT)<\/p>\n Mavericks vs. Kings Betting Trends These two teams faced each other just over a week ago with the Sacramento Kings upsetting 113-107 as the underdogs once again. Kings’ Russell Westbrook made history in passing Magic Johnson<\/a> at seventh all-time in assists (10,169), leading the charge in scoring as well with 21 points in the win. More impressively, the Kings only had 11 turnovers as a team to the Mavericks’ 21, making the difference on the defensive end and sealing the win. Given their track record in this matchup, the Kings could be seen as live dogs throughout this game.<\/p>\n The Mavericks haven’t been much better in terms of securing wins, but their last two wins have come against top contenders in the Rockets and the Nuggets. Not only have the Mavericks been able to beat better teams, but they’ve shown flashes of dominance when both Cooper Flagg<\/a> and Anthony Davis<\/a> are able to sync big performances. However, consistency has been the main issue as their defensive efforts don’t stack up against their offense. While Flagg is doing everything he can, he’s still a rookie experiencing all the growing pains of a rebuilding team.<\/p>\n
