Tip and bets
It is time for Dallas to improve the situation. Kidd's men are playing well at home, so it is a possible thing to do. Luka Doncic and co know how to break the opponent's defense. They already did that in the match against Denver, beating the opponent by 10 points.
We think that Cleveland won't be able to stop the opponent.
Our prediction - Dallas to win with a handicap of (-4) points
Dallas average 110 points per game at home. Cleveland surely have a great defense, but Mavericks know how to play against defensive-minded teams. We don't think that visitors will be able to stop Doncic and co.
Our second bet is on total over 204,5 points
