Sacramento at Dallas

Premium Pick

Dallas is 13-2 at home and 12-3 ATS, and the Mavericks come off a humiliating loss to the lowly Phoenix Suns on Thursday night, which means they'll be totally focused for this matchup as they are 5-0 ATS their last five games following a loss. Dallas will go for its 12th home win in a row, and Sacramento is playing just two days after a grueling, 130-125, loss at home to Golden State. Buddy Hield had 27 points and De'Aaron Fox 25 put up points, nine assists, and six rebounds. Also, Willie Cauley-Stein added 22 points and 11 rebounds all in a losing cause for the Kings. It will be difficult to duplicate those performances on the road, and the Mavericks have covered 19 of their last 26 with two days rest. They are 26-12 ATS their last 38 Sunday games. And going further back, Dallas has covered 29 of its last 39 games after a loss. Take the Mavericks.
