Kings vs Mavericks Betting Pick
This game will be played at American Airlines Center at 5:00 PM ET on Saturday, March 5, 2022.
Why Bet The Kings:
✅ The Kings head to American Airlines Center as double-digit underdogs, and the injury-depleted Mavericks could have a tall task to cover the spread, especially if their best player doesn’t suit up. Luka Doncic is listed as questionable to play due to a toe injury. His eventual absence would be a massive blow for Dallas. Over his previous ten outings, Luka has averaged 34.0 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 7.7 assists per game.
✅ While the Kings can count on all their key players, the Mavs have some serious injury worries ahead of this clash. Tim Hardaway Jr. (foot), Trey Burke (shoulder), Maxi Kleber (ankle), and Sterling Brown (illness) are all on the shelf, so the Mavericks will be quite shorthanded in the backcourt if Luka Doncic hit the sidelines. Kleber’s absence is a problem for their frontcourt as well, paving the way for Domantas Sabonis to dominate in the paint.
