Dallas is riding a 5 game winning streak and has won 7 of their last 8 games including two straight on the road (Boston being among them). This is the start of a four game road stretch for Dallas.
The Lakers had won 5 straight before losing to the Clippers in their last showing Saturday night. LA currently has a 9-5 record. They’ll want to ensure a victory at home against Dallas Monday night with a two-game road trip looming against Miami and Orlando later this week.
The Mavericks are 11-2-1 Against The Spread in their last 14 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.
The Mavericks are 17-4-2 ATS in their last 23 games playing on 1 days rest and they are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 road games.
The Lakers are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games as a favorite of 0.5-4.5.
Dallas have beaten the Lakers in four of their last meetings, all of which were Playoffs games. Los Angeles will want revenge Monday night, we are fairly confident. But Dallas is starting to come on strong heading as they head into this game so be careful when placing that bet.
