Lakers Home Advantage Enough vs Mavericks
Mavericks vs LA Lakers NBA Odds
The Los Angeles Lakers seek four consecutive wins when facing the Dallas Mavericks, and Mavericks vs LA Lakers NBA odds are available.
Despite their recent winning form, we are surprised to see the Lakers are +2.5 underdogs, so bettors get a value line.
Mavericks vs LA Lakers
Date, time:
Dallas Needing Rhythm
The Mavericks are one of the more frustrating teams to watch. They have all the talent, but they often disappoint when the pressure is on.
However, after 14 games, they are 9-5, which should give bettors plenty of confidence ahead of a crucial clash with the Lakers.
NBA scores and odds don’t have the Mavericks. They have lost three of their last four games, so they’re so frustrating.
They lost to New Orleans, Milwaukee, and Sacramento, so they were playing tough teams. However, the Lakers are 7-1 at home, so this won’t be any easier.
Luka Doncic is doing all he can to keep them competitive. He averages 30.6 points per game, and he leads NBA team stats with that number.
Kyrie Irving does his best to help the team, and a win over the Lakers would give them plenty of confidence.
Mavericks vs LA Lakers NBA odds have the Mavs at -1.5, and we thought they would be the +2 underdogs. It’s an interesting line and one that’s worth keeping an eye on.
Lakers Loving Home
Despite losing to the Kings at home last week, they bounced back in fine style with wins over Houston and Utah.
Tuesday’s 131-99 win over the Jazz was an excellent performance, which is why we thought NBA betting odds would give them some respect.
Anthony Davis had 26 points, but it was LeBron James stealing the show. He became the first player in history to top 39,000 points.
“I got congratulated by my teammates and coaches, (but) I haven’t had an opportunity to really wrap my head around what that means,” James said. “There’s been so many great players that came across this league since the beginning of time, and so many great scorers.
“To be able to accomplish something that’s the first of anything, I think that’s always pretty cool. It’s a wild moment, that’s for sure.”
With James playing some of his best basketball, the Lakers will always be a chance of covering spreads.
They are 6-9 against the spread, which isn’t amazing, but playing at home could see that statistic improve.
Value with Lakers
We can’t turn down the value with the Lakers, so we’re locking in the Lakers +2.5.
Our Mavericks vs LA Lakers NBA odds have a generous line for the home side, who has lost just once at Crypto.com Arena all year.
That’s a tough stat to overlook, and the Mavericks are hard to trust at the best of times. Backing against Doncic isn’t easy, but backing against James and Davis is just as hard.
Take the value with the home side.
