NBA: Portland Trail Blazers vs Dallas Mavericks (January 9th, 20:40)

Prediction

The Dallas Mavericks seem to have a significant advantage. The two teams have already met three times this season, and the Mavericks won twice, mainly thanks to Luka Dončić’s explosive performances. This time, the team will also be without Kyrie Irving. Although the Trail Blazers are playing on a back-to-back, they managed to establish an early lead in their previous game and played relatively comfortably. I expect the Trail Blazers to continue causing problems for the Mavericks and to cover the spread on the road.

Pick: Trail Blazers +8.0 (bet365)
