Premium Pick

Los Angeles is 10-2 at home but 4-7 straight up on the road. The news gets worse for this game with Anthony Davis (hip) and LeBron James (calf) battling injuries, and uncertain to take the court. The Lakers are 147-187 ATS after four or more straight wins and 38-57 ATS after a spread cover. Dallas has played two of the last three on the road but is clicking on a 3-0 SU/ATS run. The Mavericks are sixth in the NBA in scoring and 10th in 3-point shooting (37.4%). NBA underdogs off a win against a division rival are 42-19 ATS in December games, so back home court. Play Dallas.
