Mavericks vs Lakers Best Bet: Lakers -9
The Lakers enter this matchup as the betting favorites, and considering the Mavericks’ laundry list of an injury report, it’s easy to see why. Dallas is coming fresh off a blowout loss against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday, and as their team continues to navigate the injury bug, it’s hard to put any stock in them pulling off this upset. Meanwhile, the Lakers have won two straight and look poised to go on a run down the stretch. Give me the Lakers to win by more than nine points.

Mavericks vs Lakers Best Total Bet: Under 232.5
Los Angeles has looked the part on offense throughout the season, and adding Doncic to the mix only added to the firepower already on the roster. When it comes to the Lakers, scoring is the least of their worries. However, as Dallas continues to see lineup changes each night, their offense has dealt with plenty of inconsistency up to this point. That said, a final score of 121-103 seems like a realistic outcome in this battle.

Mavericks Best Player Bet: Klay Thompson 4+ Threes Made +154
Klay Thompson has gone on record many times, stating his love for playing against the Lakers in their home arena. The Mavericks’ sharpshooter’s father used to play for Los Angeles. Mix that with the rich history between those walls, and it always brings out the best of top players. Thompson could be in line for a big night, not to mention that Dallas will need a huge game from their top offseason addition if they hope to keep pace with the new-look Lakers.
Lakers Best Player Bet: Luka Doncic Over 32.5 Points +104
There’s no way I could not take a Luka Doncic prop in the first revenge game against his former squad. The Slovenian superstar will likely enter this matchup with a chip on his shoulder, looking to prove to Mavs’ general manager Nico Harrison that he made a big mistake. Doncic heads into this battle fresh off his best game as a Laker, putting up 32 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists. Assuming he uses the momentum to add fuel to the fire for this personal game, I’ll take the odds the former Maverick has a monster night.
