The set-up: The Mavericks lost outright to the Kings last week, but they had to hold on for dear life in last night's 125-124 home win over the Wizards and as such, I believe fatigue will be a major factor for the home side here. The Kings are playing their most inspired ball of the season right now and have to be feeling confident after beating The Kings and the Lakers 110-106 last time out.

The pick: Dallas has a night off before a game vs. the Heat, followed by a home game vs. the Nets. Not only is this a classic letdown spot, but it's also a "look ahead." When you put those two situational "spot wagers" together, that = "trap." Outright? It's possible, but in the end let's grab up all those points!

This is a 10* UNDERDOG BEST OF THE BEST on the Kings.
