Luka Donsic will face his former Mavericks team on Tuesday night in the most anticipated NBA game of the season.
The Lakers are a massive 9.5-point favorite over the Mavericks in ESPN bets, following Denver's shocking dominant victory over the Nuggets.
Donsic is safe to say he's ready for a slightly sweet revenge on his former team who took pop shots on him on every opportunity to leave.
Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison and team owner Patrick Dumont criticised his lack of defensive power and ability to stay fit, claiming he weighed 270 pounds at some point this season. I added.
When Donsic looked phenomenal on Sunday, he scored 32 points and went along with 10 rebounds and seven assists in 31 minutes in a 123-100 victory over the Nuggets.
Can he explode in the day's marquee game against his old teammates on Tuesday?
Mavericks vs Lakers Odds
| team | Spread it | Money Line | total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mavericks | +9.5 (-110) | +310 | 232.5 or higher (-110) |
| Lakers | -9.5 (-110) | -385 | Less than 232.5 (-110) |
Mavericks vs. Lakers predictions
Almost everything at Maverick was injured Tuesday night.
Anthony Davis, Daniel Gafford and Derek Lively are all out, but PJ Washington and Dwight Powell are game time decisions.
LeBron James was also a game time decision, but he certainly had high hopes for him to play.
What I find most interesting is Kyrie Irving, a former Donsic teammate. Kyrie Irving needs to be ready to play a massive role as a Dallas Point Guard and a lonely primary scoring option.
Washington is essentially Dallas' second scorer at this point, and he's also suspicious on Tuesday, so this is a squash spot for Irving to try to protect Dallas.
As a member of the Mavericks, Irving averaged 26.7 points in games Donsic missed. This is most of this season.
Irving has played 24 games without Donsic, surpassing his point total (25.5, 120, Draft Kings) 13 times.
Are you going to bet on the NBA?
Irving has surpassed 34.5 points in seven of these games (hit rate of 29.17%), and his odds when the Lakers come in at +475 (an implied odds of 17.39%).
This gives him a solid edge of 12% based on his past performance, with Lakers defense number one in the NBA in the last 15 games, but Irving in the game where he plays two of his previous runs. Additional efforts can be expected from. fellow.
Pick: Kyrie Irving over 25.5 points (-120, DraftKings) | 35+ (+475)
