Prediction published on 03/03/2025, 04:00  by Kennedy Kechula | Modified on 03/03/2025 at 04:07 in NBA Predictions

The wounded Dallas Mavericks will welcome the improving Sacramento Kings next, seeking to return to winning ways in the NBA. They enter this match as the 10th best team in the Western Conference and are right on the heels of their ninth-placed visitors. Below is our prediction for this match.

The Mavericks are struggling, and arrive for this match having lost three of their last four fixtures. The most recent setback, a 132-117 loss to the Bucks, came at home.

This recent slump has Jason Kidd’s men just three games above .500. The Mavericks have compiled a 32-29 record and sit precariously in the final play-in spot.

Daniel Gafford, Derrick Lively, Anthony Davis, P.J. Washington, and Caleb Martin are out for this match.

The Kings have won both meetings with the Mavericks this season. They won the most recent meeting, less than a month ago, in Dallas 129-128 in OT.

As they arrive for this final regular-season battle between the two in strong form, they will be confident of the sweep.

Doug Christie’s men have won three in a row and, in their last eight matches, managed six victories. The Kings, who are on the third game of a four-match road trip, defeated the Rockets 113-103 last time out. They have now compiled a 31-28 record.

Domantas Sabonis is listed as day-to-day in the latest injury report.
