🤔 Mavericks vs. Lakers Predictions for NBA on Prime, 2/12

When we last saw the Lakers on the court, we warned about keeping an eye on the status of LeBron James since they were on a back-to-back. Not only was he ruled out, nearly everyone was - Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, Marcus Smart, AND Deandre Ayton! So, we have to keep that in mind regarding Mavericks vs. Lakers predictions.

It SHOULD be Luka remaining out and LeBron and Reaves back in the lineup, but we’ll want to keep tabs on that. This is the final game before the break, and Dallas isn’t exactly a juggernaut of an opponent. With the Mavs no longer having Anthony Davis and Luka banged up, it’s not exactly the revenge game you’d expect.

Even still, there is always a way to find value for your Mavericks vs. Lakers picks. Right now, things in Dallas are all about rookie sensation Cooper Flagg, and rightfully so. At the same time, they also have one of the worst defenses, and along with the one in LA, lacking as well, we can exploit those for our NBA expert picks today.

So, let’s transition into the best bet from our Mavericks vs. Lakers predictions to make the most of the finale of the first “half” of the season.
 

 

 

🔥 Mavericks vs. Lakers Best Bet: Austin Reaves Over 24.5 Points (Use Kalshi To Make Picks On Anything)

Since the trade that shook the NBA world last year, which sent Luka to LA, he has thoroughly enjoyed his revenge games. The two that were earlier this season saw him go for 33-11-8 and 35-11-5. So, his absence certainly takes away from the most obvious of Mavericks vs. Lakers predictions for tonight.

However, there is a spot that we love just as much. We noted that both squads lack great defense, and that’s great news regarding the recent return of Austin Reaves. Dallas’ D sets up perfectly for him to exploit, and with LA likely to let the Mavs look better than they really are, he’ll need to keep his foot on the gas as well.

This is also the focus of our Mavericks vs. Lakers picks, given the exact weak point of Dallas’ defense, which is against the backcourt. That’s why we saw Reaves go off for 38 points in his game against the Mavs this season. He’s only truly “gone off” once in his four games back, but it was against a very strong 76ers defense.

After resting on Tuesday night and the advantageous matchup tonight, we’ve got Austin Reaves over 24.5 points (submit a trade with Kalshi prediction market) as the best bet from our Mavericks vs. Lakers predictions.
