Prediction

The Kings are currently struggling on both ends of the court. It’s unrealistic to expect a quick turnaround just by changing the coach. However, bookmakers are still giving the Kings a 3.5-point home advantage, which has been a typical strategy lately. They are continuously signaling a potential bounce-back for the Kings, but every time this signal has been countered. With the Mavericks having had ample rest, their overall form is expected to improve. In this game, the Mavericks are likely to lose by no more than 3 points.

Pick: Mavericks +3.5 (bet365)
