LiontipsSacramento vs Dallas. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Kings are not improving and can't find a way to get back to a top-10 of a Western Conference. Team is having a decent squad, but head coach can't get them to play like they need to.
Sacramento lost to Golden State in the last game (113:117). Team wasn't so bad in offense, but Steph Curry was unstoppable and scored 37 points.
Kings are clearly underachieving, their line-up is good enough to fight for the play-offs. De'Aaron Fox is absent so far and that's a big loss for Kings, because he is one of team's leaders.
Mavericks are on a good run now. Thanks to a good team performance and the slip-ups of their rivals, they went up to 6th spot of the Western Conference.
Dallas won three consecutive games - at first they left no chance to Detroit (127:117), then they beat Lakers twice. Luka Doncic is on a good form now. Ricky Carlisle's men will try to hold on to their success, but their next game will be on away.
Mavericks are a clear favourite of the upcoming game and it's hard to argue with that. They don't have any problems with the squad, so they will try to extend their streak.
