Mavericks Seeking Three Straight Wins
There is plenty of momentum with the Mavericks after scoring wins over the San Antonio Spurs and Phoenix Suns.
We thought there would be more respect at the sportsbook for the 18-13 team, which is still gaining support with NBA odds to win championship.
The two-game winning streak ended three consecutive losses, so they’re back to their best, and it’s because Luka Doncic is playing lights out basketball.
He averages 33.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 9.4 assists per game. The MVP candidate is single-handedly keeping the Mavericks in the playoff hunt, and getting +9.5 points when he’s on the court is a value line.
He scored 50 points in his most recent game, further exemplifying his class.
“He’s one of the best in the world,” Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said. “As I’ve always said, we can’t take him for granted. When he’s feeling it, you’re just trying to get him the ball as much as possible.”
Mavericks vs Timberwolves scores & predictions show the Mavericks are 10-6 against the spread on the road, so there is enough reason to back them.
Timberwolves Love Being Home
Boasting a 12-1 home record, the Timberwolves have been one of the better bets.
They are only 16-13 ATS overall, but they improve at home with a 9-4 ATS record. NBA scores and odds have the Timberwolves losing two of their last four games, so they haven’t been invincible.
It has been a good year overall, posting a 22-7 record. That’s much better than what the Wolves usually offer up, but the big three of Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards, and Rudy Gobert have stood up.
We’re not surprised by the money coming for the home side, who won 119-101 in the previous meeting against the Mavericks. That came on the road, and they’ll enjoy playing at home much more.
However, the Timberwolves don’t have Doncic, and he’s the ultimate equalizer. Covering a -9.5 spread isn’t easy, even against bad teams, let alone the Mavericks coming off two impressive victories.
Mavs Keep it Close
We can’t turn down the value line for the Mavericks, who are a confidence team.
Getting almost double digits is too good to pass up, and we think the Mavericks could win outright at juicy odds.
Over under betting has the line at 227.5, and we’re locking in the over. These teams can score with the best of them, and although the Timberwolves defense is one of the best in the NBA, the Mavericks are elite scorers.
It could be a wide open contest, which not only suits the Mavs, but it suits the over. Include both in your NBA picks.
