Prediction
The Sacramento Kings will defeat the Dallas Mavericks on the road and cover the two-point spread in this game. Even without Sabonis, the Kings are the better team in this game. Considering how injured they are, I do not believe that the Dallas Mavericks will be able to slow down Malik Monk and Zach LaVine’s electric backcourt. Jonas Valanciunas should dominate this game just like he did against the Rockets. He was the perfect acquisition for them at the trade line, and with Sabonis going down, it will prove dividend in this game just as it did in the last game. Sacramento goes into Dallas in this game and comes away With their 32nd win of the season.
Final Pick
Sacramento Kings -2 (-112)
