Mavericks vs Kings Prediction 11/2/26 NBA Picks Today

Mavericks vs Kings Prediction

I’m not sure I believe in the Mavericks, and this three-game winning streak- three straight wins is three straight wins. They were all massive underdog wins as well as the type of wins that build confidence. I say every chance I get that the Kings are possibly the worst run franchise in all of sports. I have yet to be proven wrong, as the Kings are winless this season and 1-5 ATS. The Kings have zero value in the betting market, and I have no interest. The line is thick, but it’s thick for a reason. The Kings suck. It’s Mavericks or pass for me on Monday night.
