Dallas Hoping Win Over Golden State Sparks A Turnaround

The Mavericks snapped an 0-4 SU and ATS losing streak on Tuesday night with a 116-113 win at home over the Golden State Warriors. Luka Doncic was sensational in the win, compiling 41 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists in 39 minutes of action. Doncic leads the NBA in scoring with 33.5 points per game and also ranks fourth with 8.6 assists per night.

Dallas had gone just 1-12 ATS over its previous 13 games before narrowly covering the spread on Tuesday. The Mavericks were 6-3 SU through their first nine games this season prior to their recent 4-7 SU downswing, which includes an 0-5 SU and ATS record in the team’s last five road games.

Kemba Walker is questionable to make his Mavericks debut on Thursday after being signed by the team on Monday.

Detroit Has Lost Three Straight Since Scoring A Pair Of Big Upsets

The Pistons suffered their biggest loss of the season on Tuesday night as they were crushed 140-110 at home by the New York Knicks. Isaiah Stewart led the team in scoring with 19 points and was the only Pistons player to score more than 13 points. Detroit fell to 0-3 SU and 1-2 ATS over its last three games with the loss.

Before this current three-game losing streak, the Pistons picked up two surprising upsets on back-to-back nights on the road against the Denver Nuggets and Utah Jazz. Those two upsets were part of a 6-1 ATS run, but Detroit has failed to cover the spread in each of its last two games since then. Detroit has the worst record in the NBA at 5-18 SU.

Mavericks Player Prop: Luka Doncic OVER 8.5 Assists (-137)

Luka Doncic has recorded 12 assists in each of his last two games and has tallied nine assists or more in five of his last six games. Doncic is in the zone offensively right now, and there’s no reason to expect that trend not to continue in Detroit.

Pistons Player Prop: Bojan Bogdanovic OVER 18.5 Points (-108)

Bojan Bogdanovic had scored 19 points or more in six straight games prior to scoring only 13 against the Knicks. Those 13 points came in only 19 minutes of play, however, as Bogdanovic was pulled early from the blowout loss. Even against Dallas’ tough defense, he should be able to get to 19 points.

Mavericks: Keys To Victory

Dallas’ usually elite defense has been a bit shaky of late, allowing an average of 116.8 points over the last four games. Luka Doncic and the offense should have a big game in Detroit, but the team will need to get back on track defensively to earn a win and cover as a Mavericks vs Pistons prediction on the road.

Pistons: Keys To Victory

Detroit’s last eight losses prior to Tuesday night’s blowout at the hands of the Knicks all came by nine points or less. The Pistons have been a bit more competitive than their SU record would suggest with a 10-8-1 ATS record over their last 19 games, and a solid team effort on offense could lead to a cover or perhaps even an upset win as a Mavericks vs Pistons pick.
