Sacramento Kings vs Dallas Mavericks: Current situation
Finishing with a losing record isn’t something most Kings fans thought would happen this year, but that’s the reality they are in right now. Trading away your best player mid-season never reflects well on your play, that’s exactly what happened to the kings. The duo of Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan has played well together, but there is no doubt that the Kings took a step back this season in their development.
From making the NBA Finals to playing in the play-in tournament – that’s the Dallas Mavericks season in a nutshell. Injuries plus questionable trade moves have the Mavs finishing with just 39 wins and 43 losses this year, regardless of how Wednesday’s game ends the fanbase of the Mavericks will be upset for years to come after the front office traded away Luka Doncic earlier in the year.
Sacramento Kings Stats & Form
Sacramento woke up late on the final day of the regular season as they took down the Phoenix Suns 109-98 to win their 40th game of the season. Domantas Sabonis had 20 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists, while Jonas Valanciunas added 22 off the bench to go along with his 10 rebounds. It was an odd game to watch, the two teams combined to shoot just 9 free throws total which is one of the lowest amounts in recent history.
Dallas Mavericks Stats & Form
Dallas seemingly gave up on the final day of the regular season, fielding a heavily weakened roster in their game against the Memphis Grizzlies. That move resulted in a 35 point loss and the team scoring under the 100 point mark. Daniel Gafford was the lone bright spot with 20 points scored in just 19 minutes played, as a team the Mavs shot just 5-for-28 from three in the loss.
Sacramento Kings vs Dallas Mavericks: Head-to-Head
Sacramento has had the upper hand in recent head-to-head meetings winning 6 of the last 10 games. From a betting perspective they’ve been able to cover the spread 12 times in the last 18 meetings as well, oddly enough the last 9 meetings at the Golden 1 Center have been dominated by defense with the under cashing 7 times during that stretch.

Betting tip and prediction: Sacramento Kings vs Dallas Mavericks (16.04.2025)
You’d think that Wednesday’s game will be a competitive one between the Kings and Mavs with a playoff spot on the line, however we are not of that opinion. Judging by how the Mavericks have finished the regular season, there is a feeling in the air that they aren’t all that interesting in making the postseason as it would likely result in a first round sweep at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Injuries have decimated this team all year long, with their best player Kyrie Irving being out for the year there is very little chance they make noise in the postseason, even if they get there. Sacramento at least has all of their core players available as they try to make a run for it here. They’ve won all 3 meetings against the Mavericks this season, including the 2 most recent ones where they put up 120+ points at Dallas. The battle down low between the two big men Anthony Davis and Domantas Sabonis will be an interesting one, we expect those two to cancel each other out numbers wise. In the backcourt the Kings have the advantage in experience as the duo of LaVine and DeRozan has already been in this situation as members of the Chicago Bulls a couple of years back. Sacramento has been a reliable bet in games vs Southwest Division opponents, winning 12 of the last 13. They’ve covered the spread in 4 of 6 games overall, let’s back them to dominate Wednesday’s play-in game as well.
