BTB Betting Pick

The Dallas Mavericks are favored by 3.5 points against the Washington Wizards. The Mavericks allow 114.2 points per game, while the Wizards score 112.1 points per game. Given the Wizards’ poor defensive record, allowing 130.3 points per game, the Mavericks should cover the spread. The projected score is Mavericks 116, Wizards 112.

The over/under for the game is set at 228.5 points. The Mavericks’ strong defense, allowing only 114.2 points per game, contrasts with the Wizards’ weak defense.
