Insider status:
evaluation:
Sacramento has defeated the Mavericks twice this season, winning both games in Dallas. They are obviously the favorites to win this contest, but they are not going to win this game. Dallas has been on a roll lately, winning seven of their last eight games and posting a 7-1-0 record in those eight games.
Sacramento has won seven of its last 10 games, but is just 4-5-0 ATS in its last nine games. This should be a close game, and the team that shoots more free throws should have the advantage. Neither team is particularly good, but Dallas' defense was slightly better, and that helped them win this game.
Prediction: +1.5 (-110) to beat the Dallas Mavericks.

These teams have been under in seven of the last 10 meetings, so the under would seem like the better bet. However, it is more of a product of total sets, with each of his last three matches totaling more than 242 sets.
These teams score and score at least 235 points in five consecutive games. Last time we met, there were only 235 in total, and before that it was 242. The last time the two teams met in Sacramento, 261 points were scored. Dallas wins him 120-118.
Prediction: Over 236.5 (-110)
