76ers vs. Mavericks Preview
The Dallas Mavericks and the Philadelphia 76ers will clash on Sunday afternoon. American Airlines Center will be the site for this matchup. Philly comes into the contest with a record of 22-44. No team in basketball has been more disappointing than the 76ers have.
Philly entered the season as one of the favorites to win the East, and now they are playing for lottery position. Tyrese Maxey leads the Sixers with 26.3 points per game and 6.1 assists.
Dallas has posted a record of 33-35 on the season. After reaching the NBA finals last year, the Mavericks have taken a significant step back. The Mavs shockingly traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis.
Davis was injured during his second week with the team and hopes to return this season. Kyrie Irving leads the Mavs with 24.7 points per game and 4.6 assists. However, Irving will miss the rest of the year with a torn ACL.
76ers vs. Mavericks Prediction
We will fade a former member of the Mavericks this afternoon, Quentin Grimes.
Grimes has averaged 26.1 points per game in March, so this afternoon's number is inflated.
Dallas will have a strong game plan to slow down Grimes and force other role players to beat them.
Our Action Pro Report is projecting Grimes to score 20.2 points today, which gives us strong value for this prop.
Best Bet: Quentin Grimes Under 22.5 Points (-115)
