Dallas Mavericks (20-12) versus Cleveland Cavaliers (24-7) is a highly anticipated NBA clash on Friday night at the American Airlines Center. The Mavericks started the season slowly before clawing their way back into the Western Conference race after a string of impressive performances. They are fourth in the standings, 6.5 games behind the Thunder, and could leapfrog the Rockets to the third spot with a win on Wednesday night before hosting the Cavs. The visitors have been nothing short of exceptional in the Eastern Conference, leading Boston in second spot with a difference of 4.5 games. They are on a six-game winning streak and will travel to the Warriors and the Lakers before meeting the Mavs. This could be their season.

Our Dallas Mavericks vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction

The Cavs will visit the Mavs after losing just three of their 13 away assignments this season. They have managed to maintain winning consistency by sweeping aside more of their challengers. The Cavs have picked up five victories in their last six meetings with Dallas and have won all their previous four clashes. That’s not all; Cleveland has beaten Dallas on the road on the last three occasions. They could make it four away wins on the bounce, considering Dallas’ main star, Luca Doncic, is out until February with a calf injury. This could be the difference in such a competitive matchup. Our prediction for Dallas Mavericks vs Cleveland Cavaliers: Cleveland Cavaliers for the win.

Prediction:

 

Cleveland Cavaliers for the win.
