💰 Mavericks vs. Kings best bet

Cooper Flagg Over 21.5 points (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

While Flagg has scored 15 points or fewer in three straight games, he has still cashed this prop in seven of his last 11, making him a solid candidate to bounce back offensively tonight.

The No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft scored 23 points in his only career appearance against the Sacramento Kings on Dec. 27, shooting 7 of 13 (53.8%) from the field, including 3 of 4 (75%) from beyond the arc. Expect Flagg to be just as productive tonight in Sacramento.

Zach LaVine Over 2.5 three-pointers made (+112) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

LaVine has made four 3-pointers in each of the last two games he’s played against the Mavericks, including last season’s play-in tournament.

While LaVine hasn’t cashed this prop consistently this season - making three or more 3-pointers in just nine of his 24 games - the Kings have often been blown out, resulting in fewer minutes for LaVine to get up shots. With just a 5.5-point spread tonight in Sacramento, a blowout seems unlikely, which should help us cash this Over.

Anthony Davis Over 3.5 assists (+123) ⭐⭐⭐

While Davis has cashed this prop just once in his last four games, these odds are too good to pass up.

The +123 odds from DraftKings are among the best available across the best sports betting sites, while most other books list Davis at -105 or shorter. Davis averages the fifth-most assists per game on the Mavericks (2.8) and should see an uptick in production against the Kings, who allow the fifth-most assists per game in the NBA (28).
