How to make Lakers vs. Mavs picks<\/p>\n

SportsLine’s model has simulated Mavs vs. Lakers 10,000 times and is going Over on the total (236.5 points). Just three teams have hit the Over had a higher percentage than the Lakers (56.6%) this season. At home, Los Angeles is even more prone to eclipsing the total as its 17-7 Over mark at Crypto.com Arena is the best home Over record in the league. Meanwhile, Dallas has seen the Over hit in each of its last three contests.<\/p>\n

Each team is projected to have five players reach double-figures, with two participants eclipsing 23 points. While the Lakers are projected to have the top two scorers, they are also very giving on the defensive end, ranking 27th in field goal percentage allowed and 23rd in 3-point percentage allowed. That allows the Over to hit in 54.9% of simulations.<\/p>\n

It also says one side of the spread hits over 60% of the time.\u00a0You can head to SportsLine to see the model’s NBA picks<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
