The Dallas Mavericks are set to host the Sacramento Kings on Monday, February 10, 2025, at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:30 PM ET. The Mavericks currently hold a 28-25 record, while the Kings are at 26-26. Despite their similar standings, the Mavericks are favored by 1.5 points in this matchup.
The Kings also made fascinating acquisitions, such as LaVine, in the previous trade, hoping to join the NBA's top-five offense on a squad that performed well against the Pelicans on Saturday. They trailed by as much as 20 points at one point, but LaVine scored 22 points on his greatest night with his new team, and a 22-9 surge helped them come away and defeat the Pelicans at Golden 1 Center.
Anthony Davis finally made his debut for the Mavericks, who are adjusting to life without Doncic, and he did so admirably, defeating the Rockets 116-105 in a game at the American Airlines Center when they were 3.5-point favorites. Davis produced 26 points and 16 rebounds in a bid to make the city forget Doncic's departure, but an adductor injury revealed on Sunday will keep the superstar out for at least the week.
As a result, the Mavericks will have a 1.5-point home advantage over the Kings.The Kings also made fascinating acquisitions, such as LaVine, in the previous trade, hoping to join the NBA's top-five offense on a squad that performed well against the Pelicans on Saturday.

In a significant development, the Mavericks will be without their recent acquisition, Anthony Davis, who suffered a left adductor strain during his debut game against the Houston Rockets. Davis is expected to be sidelined for several weeks, which poses a considerable challenge for Dallas.
The Kings, on the other hand, are looking to capitalize on Davis's absence and improve their standing in the Western Conference. Both teams have shown a tendency to engage in high-scoring games, with the Mavericks hitting the over in 8 of their last 10 games and the Kings doing so in 21 of their 34 conference games.
As the Mavericks and Kings prepare to face off, the game promises to be a closely contested battle with significant implications for both teams' playoff aspirations.
