The Washington Wizards (9-43, 6-20 away) will travel to Texas on Monday night to face their recent AAC trade partner, the Dallas Mavericks (30-23, 15-13 home). Head to. Fresh off a 146-111 win over the OKC Thunder, the Mavs began a cupcake schedule that gives them a legitimate chance to move up in the West Division by the end of the season. Dallas appears to be healthy except for Lively and Exum, both of whom are listed as absent for Monday's contest. Scan the lines and props to find out your stake.

player props
- Derrick Jones Jr. 0.5 or better 3-pointers (-180)
- Deni Avdija, R+A over 11.5 (rebounds + assists)
The Mavericks have more scoring options than at any point this season. Despite these new options, Jones will continue to secure his place in this rotation. His splits were marked by his 3-point field goal percentage, shooting 38 percent at home and just 29 percent on the road. Washington ranks in the middle of the pack in 3-pointers allowed this season. All it takes is one make from him, and three or more attempts is a reasonable expectation. Take the steep juices and put the unit on Jones over 0.5 3P Made.
Deni Avdija is the type of player Washington needs to build around if it wants to be more than a minor league farm system to other NBA teams. He had 11 boards and four dimes against Boston on Friday. Avzia also had 13 boards and five dimes against Philadelphia on Sunday. He scored well in both games, but while his scoring skewed towards the home team, his rebounding and playmaking were strong all season. Make Deni Avdija at least 11.5 R+A.
today's play
- Race for 20 points – Dallas Mavericks (-245)
This is part of the schedule that Dallas must take advantage of to start moving up the standings. Considering Dallas set a franchise record by scoring 47 points in the first quarter against the Thunder, I'd like to see Dallas get up to speed quickly and set the tone. This has more upside than the Mavericks' money line of -1100, and a hot shooting spurt in the garbage minutes late in the fourth could give the Wizards backdoor coverage at the 14.5 game line. The Mavericks won this race for 20 points.
