Premium Pick

Dallas doesn't play much defense, and they are a big favorite over a Los Angeles Lakers team that is very strong on offense, 12th in the NBA in points scored. The Lakers are 4-0-1 ATS against the Western Conference and 6-2 ATS on the road versus a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. They face a Dallas team still trying to adjust to the addition of Rajon Rondo. The Mavericks actually haven't benefited from the move since Saturday's 99-93 home win over San Antonio in Rondo's debut. They've followed up with a 105-102 loss to Atlanta on Monday and a 124-115 defeat at Phoenix the next night. Dallas is on a 2-6 ATS run and 4-10 ATS against the NBA Pacific division. This team still struggles on defense, the Mavericks are 0-4 ATS at home, plus 0-7 ATS against the Western Conference. Play the Los Angeles Lakers.
