Mavericks vs Lakers NBA Preview
Back to the well with ol’ reliable, Mavericks unders.
The under in Mavs games is 13-6 this season, with their team total going 13-5-1 to the under.
The Lakers are the No.1 over team at home, but quite simply, they’ve never played an offense as bad as Dallas’. When the total is higher than their average, the under is 9-2 in Mavericks games this season.
The Lakers’ defense also isn’t terrible; they are 15th, league median, in half-court defense. The Lakers’ strengths match up with Dallas’ strengths.
I don’t mind playing the Mavericks team total alone here, but I also like to give myself some wiggle room if the team I’m fading has a good defense, which Dallas does.
I project this all the way down to 222 points. I will keep fading Dallas’ offense until the market adjusts.
Pick: Under 232 (-110, bet365)
