The Dallas Mavericks and the Sacramento Kings have been in the NBA news recently, but not for a good reason. The Mavericks will be without Luka Doncic for a while because of an injury, while two players were suspended. Then, the Kings recently fired their head coach Mike Brown.

The Mavericks lost 126-122 to the Portland Trail Blazers in their last game, unable to overcome all the players that were out. In their previous game, the Kings also lost 132-122 to the Los Angeles Lakers, with interim head coach Doug Christie in charge for the first time, affecting lines at BetUS Sportsbook.

Mavericks vs Kings ATS and Over/Under Picks

Sacramento Kings ATS -4

This has not been a good season for the Kings. In Brown’s first season as the Kings’ head coach, he seemed to spark something, as they finished third in the Western Conference, having one of the best offenses in league history. Last season, they tried to build off that success but couldn’t, as they missed the playoffs, only winning two fewer games.

Then, in the offseason, the Kings made a big move, pulling off a sign-and-trade for DeMar DeRozan. The Kings needed a wing, and DeRozan fit this high-octane offense alongside De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis, boosting the Kings’ NBA predictions today.

But that did not work. When Brown was fired, the Kings had lost five straight games, with a record of 13-18. The firing was maybe a brash decision, but something might have clicked. In the four games before Brown was fired, the Kings could not score over 113 points. Then, they scored 122 right after, with the star player playing great.

Fox had 29 points with 12 assists, while DeRozan scored 25. Malik Monk also had a big game, with 20 points, seven assists, and six rebounds. Given that this is the Kings’ first home game after their head coach was fired and that they looked to get a boost without him, NBA betting picks could lead to them covering against the Mavericks, who have their own issues.

Mavericks vs Kings Under 229

The Mavericks’ matchup with the Trail Blazers was going to be tough, mainly because of all the players that will be out. Doncic and Dereck Lively II missed the game with injuries, while P.J. Washington and Naji Marshall were serving suspensions.

The good news is that Washington will be back after his one-game suspension. However, Marshall still has three more games to sit out before he can come back. Furthermore, Lively has a chance to play in this game, but Doncic will seemingly miss a month due to a calf injury he sustained on Christmas Day.

However, the Mavericks still scored 122 points in the loss to the Trail Blazers. That is mainly because the Trail Blazers’ weak defense, and Kyrie Irving stepped in to score 46 points.

In the first game without Doncic, the Mavericks’ offense struggled, but the defense was solid, as they beat the Phoenix Suns 98-89. The Kings should cover the NBA spread, and having faith in this Mavericks offense is hard. Irving is still a great individual player, but the supporting offensive cast around him is not up to par. They must rely on their defense, leading this game to hit the under.

Fox is coming off a big assist game, under a different system, that is something that can continue.
