3% Take Sacramento on the MONEYLINE (#563)
Sacramento is playing their best basketball of the season right now, winners of five straight and mostly healthy -- only Kevin Huerter (among their rotation players) is listed on the injury report today, and there’s a decent chance Huerter suits up. They’ve won five straight games, the last three by double digit margins. This is only the Kings fourth game since last Friday – they’re fresh and rested right now. That’s not the case for Dallas, on the second night of back-2-backs, and playing their second set of back-2-backs since Tuesday. The Mavs ran out of gas in the fourth quarter at Milwaukee yesterday, with Luka, Kyrie and Grant Williams all playing 34+ minutes in that contest; bad news for their defensive approach tonight. Let’s not forget that the Mavericks just returned from a four game road trip and leave again after this single home game – this is a tired, travel weary team facing a foe that has the potential to run them out the gym. In this ‘short road favorite’ pointspread range, I’ll take my chalk on the moneyline. Take the Kings on the MONEYLINE
