Betting on the Dallas Mavericks
- Regular season record: 34-35.
The team coached by Jason Kidd is going through a week to forget, after three consecutive defeats. The last two at the hands of the Memphis Grizzlies, second in their division. Despite the absence of Ja Morant, the rival was enough to win the game in the face of an alarming offensive performance by the Texans.
Much had to do with the absence of its two stars: Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving. The former suffered a left thigh strain in the Dallas-New Orleans Pelicans game on March 8. The latter, on the other hand, is suffering from an injury in his left foot. Thus, both players hope to be able to play in this transcendental challenge in Los Angeles.
And the return of both players to NBA action will be important since, playing on the road, the Mavs have won just 12 of their 33 games. What’s more, they have also gone four games without a win, with the last one taking place a month ago, more specifically on February 12, in their visit to the Sacramento Kings. Therefore, this statistic encourages betting on a home win in this Mavericks vs Lakers.
Betting on the Los Angeles Lakers
- Regular season record: 34-35.
The Lakers also suffered the loss of their most outstanding player. We are talking about LeBron James, who has been sidelined for several weeks due to a tendon injury in his right foot. However, Darvin Ham’s squad overcame adversity and this is evidenced by his seven celebrations in the past 10 games.
In their last confrontation, Los Angeles achieved a valuable win over the New Orleans Pelicans.It was 123-108 with a huge Anthony Davis, who contributed 35 units and 17 rebounds. The power forward was in charge of leading his team after the resounding absence of his best partner on the court.
The home team’s best weapon is undoubtedly its offense, which registers an average of 116.7 points per game, and is the eighth-best franchise in that category. . Quite the opposite on defense, as it is the tenth worst in the league, conceding 117.1 units per challenge. Will the Lakers be able to improve on that aspect ahead of Mavericks vs Lakers?
JefeBet Prediction
We are in the presence of a match that could mark a turning point in the season. A defeat could leave one of these teams out of the Play-In zone.
The record worries the homeowners, who have a record of 18-16 in front of their own fans. However, as previously mentioned, Dallas only won 36% of its games on the road this season. Therefore, with a view to the Mavericks vs Lakers, JefeBet predicts a close success for the home side.
Prediction: Los Angeles Lakers Moneyline (DAL 107-112 LAL).
