Sacramento Kings:
the Kings have lost 21 straight games facing the Mavs in Dallas.
[dfads params=’groups=226&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
These 2 teams met earlier in the season in Sacramento where the Kings beat the Mavs 112-98.
Rajon Rondo has resurrected his career in Sacto this season and he leads the NBA in assists per game and is averaging 12 ppg. However, the big gun for the Kings is big man DeMarcus Cousins, who scored 33 points and grabbed 19 boards in the win over the Thunder.
In the last 3 games facing the Mavs Cousins is averaging 28.7 ppg and 12 rpg.
The Kings’ offense has been solid all season ranking 3rd in the league in scoring, but they only rank 30th in the league in opponents’ points per game.
Dallas Mavericks
The Mavs are a balanced team that ranks 14th in the league in points per game and 17th in opponents’ points per game.
The Mavs have 5 players averaging in double figures led by the ageless Dirk Nowitzki (17.2 ppg).
Not only has Rando been solid this season in Sacto, but Deron Williams has also boosted his career in his first season in Dallas averaging 14.4 ppg, but he is a question mark for tonight’s game with a hamstring injury.
One key match up in this game is Dallas C Zaza Pachulia (10.8 ppg 10.5 rpg) facing Cousins, as the Mavs’ big man has to keep Cousins from having a big scoring game and dominating in the paint.

Nowitzki has averaged 25.3 ppg in his last 3 home games against the Kings.

4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Sacramento ATS
I think the Mavs will pull out the win and extend their long home winning streak over the Kings, but Sacto will keep it close and cover the spread.
