Betting on the Dallas Mavericks
- Regular Season Record: 15-16
- BetMGM Spread: (To be determined)
- BetMGM Moneyline: (To be determined)
- BetMGM Over/Under: (To be determined)
The Mavericks are still trying to improve, but their inconsistency does not come to an end, as they have only two wins in the last five games played. One of the reasons is perhaps the loss of Luka Dončić, who has always been the axis of this offense.
In the Mavs’ last two losses, the Slovakian only played against the Timberwolves, a game they lost 106-116 and where he could only score 19 points. Considering that he averages 32.5 points per game, if he is not fit, Dallas loses a lot of power.
They have a tough schedule ahead, so this game is important, because they know that the Rockets are not as powerful and can serve as a recharge of confidence and energy for the team’s mood. But they can’t be complacent, as this young squad is capable of springing a surprise.
Betting on the Houston Rockets
- Regular Season Record: 9-21
- BetMGM Spread: (To be determined)
- BetMGM Moneyline: (To be determined)
- BetMGM Over/Under: (To be determined)
The Rockets are the last record holder in the Western Conference, needless to say their season has been dreadful, and they recently returned to the losing ways. They have lost three games in a row, they have had some improvement, but the team is very weak compared to their opponents.
The offense has been dried up ugly, they have not scored more than 110 points in the last three games and one of their top scorers, Jalen Green, has cooled off considerably. Against Portland, a game they lost 107-95, he only scored 15 points. Considering he averages 21.3, they do lose quite a bit when he doesn’t score that much.
Houston is not in good shape, and their focus is already on getting off the bottom. Luckily, there is some hope, as they already beat the Mavs this season by a score of 101-92 on November 16. Will they be able to repeat the feat? It looks complicated.
JefeBet Prediction
The Mavs are in better shape at the moment. Yes, they’ve already been beaten by the Rockets, who have pulled out improbable wins against the Bucks and Suns this season. But it seems difficult for them to beat the Mavs as they are quite desperate for victories to put pressure on the Jazz, as we have already mentioned.
We believe that the Rockets will fall at home against Dallas, who will accumulate an important victory that will sink Houston a little more.
Prediction: Dallas Mavericks Moneyline.
