Our NBA Public Betting Information page indicates that 59% of public bettors are currently backing the Mavericks when it comes to the spread. This information is subject to change throughout the day, however, so be sure to check the link so you’re receiving the most up-to-date public betting data.
Doncic Pours in 39 vs. Pistons
Luka Doncic scored 39 points (13-of-24 FGs, 9-of-10 FTs) with 10 rebounds, 10 assists, three steals, two blocks, and four 3-pointers in 37 minutes in Saturday’s 142-124 win over the Pistons. While Doncic’s run of 30-point triple-doubles, which reached six games on Saturday, has received a lot of fanfare, he made more history on Saturday. He became the first player in NBA history to record a 35-point triple-double in five consecutive games, an incredible achievement no matter how tired some may be of discussing triple-doubles.
To the surprise of no one, Doncic has been a top-3 player in 8- and 9-cat formats over the past two weeks. He’ll look to extend his two triple-double streaks on Monday when Dallas visits Chicago, the first of four games the Mavericks play in Week 20.
DeRozan Scores 24 Points vs. Clippers
DeMar DeRozan finished Saturday’s 112-102 loss to the Clippers with 24 points (8-of-19 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), eight rebounds, and 10 assists in 42 minutes. DeRozan recorded his sixth double-double of the season on Saturday, finishing two rebounds shy of his first triple-double. He has been elite over the past two weeks, averaging 26.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 0.5 steals, 0.4 blocks, and 1.4 3-pointers while shooting 48.2% from the field and 91.1% from the foul line. That production has been good for top-15 per-game value in 8- and 9-cat formats. DeRozan and the Bulls play four games in Week 20, beginning with the Mavericks on Monday in Chicago.
