Smart Game Analysis
Dallas Mavericks has a 74% chance of winning the game
The Mavericks, riding a two-game winning streak, are poised to defeat the struggling Kings who have lost 16 of their last 17 games and are missing key star Domantas Sabonis.
Key Analysis
- • Dallas is missing rookie star Cooper Flagg and forward P.J. Washington, but Sacramento is in worse shape without Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine.
- • Veterans Klay Thompson and Khris Middleton give the Mavericks a shooting advantage over the Kings' DeMar DeRozan and Russell Westbrook.
- • The Kings possess a porous defense that allows an average of 121.1 points per game.
- • Dallas has momentum with back-to-back wins, whereas Sacramento has plummeted with a 1-9 record in their last 10 games.
- • Sacramento struggles mightily against conference foes, holding a dismal 9-31 record against Western Conference opponents.
- • The Kings must dominate the paint against a depleted Mavericks frontcourt to have any chance of an upset.
