Kings vs Mavericks Prediction
The current betting odds have the Kings listed as a 0.5 favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Kings have looked really good this season with their 7-4 record overall. They are only 3-3 in their road games this year but they are rested coming into this game and they have been rolling lately too, winning 5 games in a row. The Mavericks have also looked really good this season with their 9-3 record overall and they have been really good at home too with their 4-1 home record. As good as they have been this year, they are at a disadvantage here since they will have no rest for this game. The Kings are rested while the Mavericks are playing on Saturday night and they have a really tough game on the road against the Bucks which they will be trying to win. This is a bad spot for them to come back home on a B2B against a rested Kings team that was 3rd in the West last season and looking to get back to that. The best way to place a bet here is on the Kings to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“I’m not one of those guys that are like, ‘I think it’s dumb,’ because I don’t. I think it could be interesting for this league. Like I said, almost every league in the world does some type of in-season tournament, so I think it’s cool that the NBA is trying to implement it.” - De’Aaron Fox after their win against the Spurs in their game on Friday.
“I thought Luka and that group set the tone, understanding getting in at four in the morning, the (potential) excuses of being tired or scheduling. I thought the maturity and the trust, to execute, I thought they did a great job from the start." - Jason Kidd after his team’s win against the Wizards in their game on Wednesday.
