Dallas hasn't lost three games in a row all season and I don't see the Mavericks losing here. The Mavericks are 19-2 in their last 21 regular-season games versus Sacramento.



The Mavericks were rolling along riding a six-game winning streak where they were outscoring their opponents by 13.5 points per game until losing to the hot Pistons last Wednesday and then getting blown out, 120-100, by the Clippers on the road this past Saturday.



Dallas is much superior to Sacramento and won't lack for motivation. The Kings possess talent with DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay. But they are immature, which could factor in this matchup as the Kings blew out the Cavaliers at home this past Saturday.



Sacramento is just 3-10-2 ATS in its last 15 home games even with that victory. The Mavericks are 48-20 ATS under Rick Carlisle following a loss and have covered 69 percent of their previous 89 road matchups.



Dallas came from 24 points down to beat Sacramento in the first meeting of the season, 106-98. The Kings were playing better back then. They have yet to reach their early-season promise since naming recycled Tyrone Corbin as their interim coach 13 games ago going 5-8.
