The Sacramento Kings (8-28, 5-12 Home) will try to bring their losing streak to an end Tuesday night when they host the Dallas Mavericks (13-23, 3-12 Away). Tipoff at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, CA, is scheduled for 11 p.m. EST with coverage provided by Peacock.

Sacramento may be getting exactly what a lackluster team like them needs to get back on the right side of the scoreboard: a game against another struggling team like the Dallas Mavericks. Dallas has lost seven of its last ten games, but ended a four-game losing streak their last time out with a 110-104 win over the Houston Rockets at home. But they have struggled hard on the road this season and haven’t won away from home since December 1 (131-121 vs. the Denver Nuggets). However, while the struggle has been real for Dallas, it has been even worse for the eight-win Kings. Along with losing their last five games, the Kings have dropped 11 of their previous 13. Incidentally, their last win came against Dallas (113-107, December 27).

P.J. Washington is listed as a game-time decision for Dallas. Sacramento has ruled out Keegan Murray and Domantas Sabonis.

Our Dallas Mavericks vs Sacramento Kings Prediction

When two bad teams play, someone has to win. But can you trust either team to bring their ‘A’ game and earn the win? Eh—probably not. A good case could be made for either team to win or cover. But there is a more predictable trend—the UNDER. Neither has a good defense, but both are among the lowest-scoring teams in the NBA (Dallas: 113.5; Sacramento: 110.3). With how both teams are playing, it’s surprising that the TOTAL is not lower.

Our Dallas vs. Sacramento Pick: UNDER 229.5
