Mavericks Playing No Defense
The big reason the Mavericks have lost six in a row is a lack of defense. They have given up 100 points or more a total of 12 times this season with four of those in this recent losing streak. The loss to Detroit was a low point as the Pistons beat them 103-89. The Mavericks have to play good defense to win because they are not that great on offense. They have Nowitzki and Jason Terry but without Caron Butler out for the season the Mavericks are really struggling to find a third scoring option. When their defense is good they can survive with Dirk leading the way but when they give up more than 100 points per game they are going to lose most of the time.
Dallas 8-12-2 ATS at Home
The Mavericks have not been a good team vs. the pointspread at home this season. That is nothing new as Dallas has struggled for years at home vs. the number. Dallas wins games straight up at home but far too often they don’t cover. It is not as much of an issue on Wednesday since if they beat the Lakers they should cover the spread. Just how bad has it been for the Mavericks vs. the spread at home? They are 17-41-3 ATS in their last 61 home games. The one positive for Dallas is that they are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 vs. the Pacific Division.
Lakers 10-10-1 ATS on the Road
Los Angeles has been worth considering when they are on the road. The Lakers are oftentimes overvalued at home but on the road they can be worth an NBA wagering online bet. Los Angeles is in the Top 10 in both points per game and fewest points allowed so they are always capable of winning away from home. Los Angeles has struggled against teams from the Southwest Division recently as they are 1-5 ATS in their last 6.
