AVOID.
Against the spread.
The KINGS -1 (-110) are slightly less expensive when it comes to placing points. Even if this line moves up to two points, laying the points is still a stronger play.
The Mavericks +1 (-110) have been on fire recently, going 8-1 ATS in the last nine games and winning the last four. However, Sacramento has been Dallas’ kryptonite, winning and covering both meetings thus far, and both of those triumphs came when the Mavericks were playing without rest.
On Tuesday night in California’s capital city, the over/under is under 233 (-110).
On Monday night, both teams cashed in on the under. In fact, Dallas has cashed the Under in four straight games and is 6-1 in its last seven. Sacramento dropped low Monday, taking the Under for the fourth straight game, and the Under is 8-1 in the last nine games.
And in this series, the Under has won three straight meetings, including both this season, and is 7-3 in the previous ten matchups.
