The current betting odds have the Kings listed as a 1.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Kings have looked good in their games this season with their 42-30 record overall which has them in a play-in spot for the playoffs in the West right now. They are fighting to get themselves into a true playoff spot and they have looked good on their home court with their 21-14 home record. Meanwhile, the Mavericks have looked good in their games this season with their 43-29 record overall which has them in a playoff spot in the West right now. They have been a good road team this year too with their 21-14 road record. The Mavericks have been up and down in the standings over the last few weeks but lately they have been surging up the West and are now in a true playoff spot. They are 9-1 in their last 10 games and they have a ton of momentum on their side too with 5 wins in a row now, but they are coming off a win against the Kings in their last one. The Kings haven't looked as good as the Mavericks have lately but the Kings are still 6-4 in their last 10 games and they will be looking to bounce back from that home loss to the Mavs in their last one. The Kings have also been up and down in the standings lately so they will be looking to get back in a playoff spot now that they have dropped down into the play-in spots, and they are going to have the extra motivation to respond from that embarrassing loss to the Mavericks at home by over 30 points. The best way to place a bet here is on the Kings to cover the spread in this game.

“I thought just the plays for one another, on both ends, offensively and defensively, was at a high. We’re just trying to take what’s in front of us and play the game that’s in front of us, take the one possession that’s in front of us to get better.” - Jason Kidd after his team’s win against the Kings in their game on Tuesday.

“Offensively, watching us play tonight, I’m a little surprised how we played. Our offense tonight led to some easy baskets for them.” - Mike Brown after his team’s loss against the Mavericks in their game on Tuesday.
