ASA top play on 10* Sacramento Kings +7.5 over Dallas Mavericks, 5:10 PM ET - This is a great opportunity to sell the Mavericks when their stocks are high and buy the Kings when they are low. The Mavs enter this game having won 9 of their last eleven games which has driven this number higher than it should be. Not to mention, the Mavericks are coming off a huge 3-game winning stretch against the Warriors (twice) and the Lakers. The last loss on the Mavs schedule was against the Utah Jazz who coincidentally is next on their schedule. You can’t blame Dallas for looking ahead to that game as the Jazz currently sit 4th in the West, one spot ahead of Dallas who is 5th. The Kings have alternated wins in their last four games and are coming off a solid road win in San Antonio last time out. It's a well-known fact the Kings aren’t good defensively but can the Mavs 25th ranked scoring offense take advantage and cover a number as high as this? When laying more than 5-points this season the Mavericks are 7-11 ATS which ties into their record as a home favorite the past two seasons of 10-17 ATS. Dallas is 21-11 SU at home on the year with an average MOV of +5.2PPG which won’t get it done here. The Kings have covered 7 of the last nine meetings in Dallas and 22 of the last thirty-one meetings overall. Given the situation and the price we like the Kings here.
