The Mavericks are coming into this game with a 43-29 record this season and they are currently sitting in 6th place in the Western Conference. They have been playing very well in their recent games as they have won their last 5 straight as well as 9 of their last 10 games, their only loss in that span coming against the Thunder. They have been playing very well on the road recently as they have won 5 of their last 6 games, but 4 of those 5 wins came against teams with losing records as their only road loss in that span came against the Thunder who are very good in the Western Conference right now. The only road win they have in that span against a team with a winning record was their 30+ point win against the Kings in their last game. They are going up against a Kings team that is 42-30 this season and is currently sitting in 8th place in the Western Conference, but this is a big game for them since they are 1 game behind the Mavericks in 6th and they can inch themselves closer with a win here. They are also going to be hungry to bounce back as they have been sitting on that 30+ home loss to the Mavericks since Tuesday and they will be hungry to get their revenge here with another chance at home to beat them. They have still been playing well recently as well as they have won 2 of their last 3 as well as 4 of their last 6 games. The Kings are going to be motivated by revenge in this game as they lost to the Mavericks at home the other night and they will bounce back here. The Kings will cover the spread in this game.
