Lakers Enjoying Success
The In-Season Tournament showcased the Lakers’ impressive form, particularly evident in their 123-109 triumph over the Indiana Pacers in the final.
Despite the championship celebration that followed, uncertainties linger regarding the value of the -2 line with Lakers vs Mavericks betting trends.
A potential cause for concern lies in their performance on the road, where they hold a 4-7 record and a less-than-stellar 5-6 record against the spread, making them less of a lucrative wager.
However, their recent victories have been impressive, so we’re not ignoring recent form. Their dominant 133-89 win against the New Orleans Pelicans and the stellar performance against the Pacers were outstanding.
The victory over the Pacers can’t be overlooked. The Pacers were playing outstanding basketball having beaten the Celtics and Bucks.
Anthony Davis, who scored an impressive 41 points, played a pivotal role in this success, earning praise from Lakers coach Darvin Ham for his effective partnership with LeBron James.
“They’re a hell of a one-two punch,” Ham said. “That one or two could be either one of them on any given night. At the end of the day, they know how to take it to the next level when everything is on the line.”
They have no notable players on the NBA injury list, which is why they’re having success.
Mavericks Rare Home Underdogs
In the absence of Kyrie Irving, Luka Doncic is showcasing his class on the court for the Mavericks.
The team’s leader in points, assists, and rebounds, has guided the team to three consecutive victories against the Jazz, Trail Blazers, and Grizzlies.
The Mavericks demonstrated their resilience with a commendable road performance, securing a 120-113 win over the Grizzlies on Monday, covering the spread with ease.
While their overall record stands at 12-10 ATS, there’s a notable dip to 4-6 ATS when playing at home. This statistic raises concerns, particularly in the absence of their second-best player.
However, it’s rare to see Lakers vs Mavericks betting trends have the Mavs as home underdogs, so bettors could jump on that line.
Despite relying heavily on Doncic, who averages an impressive 31.9 points per game, the Mavericks are good enough to handle the Lakers.
Take the Value Odds
Getting +2 for a team like the Mavericks is too good to pass up, so they’re included in our NBA picks today.
Doncic is good enough to lead the Mavericks to another victory, and we think the layoff could hurt the Lakers’ chances.
We also think it’s going to be a high scoring game. Defense isn’t a strong point for the Mavericks, so they know they need to bring the offense.
We’re confident offense will take center stage.
