Mavericks vs Cavaliers Preview
Dallas will travel to Cleveland on Wednesday for a battle versus the Cavaliers. For the latest NBA betting trends and NBA free picks on Wednesday’s game, check out our Cavaliers vs Mavericks preview below.
Dallas Is HOT
The Dallas Mavericks are going to be coming into this one only one game behind the number three seed in the Western Conference.
The way Dallas has been able to get that high up in the standings is due to their two-game winning streak, and winning seven of their last 10 games.
Dallas is going to be coming into this one after an extremely impressive win against the Los Angeles Lakers, which saw them win by 18 points.
On the season, Dallas has the ninth rated net rating, the 18th rated offensive rating, and the sixth rated defensive rating.
Cleveland Trying To Get Out Of Play-In
The Cleveland Cavaliers haven’t been able to get much going as of late as they’ve only managed to win four of their last 10 games. Cleveland now finds themselves in the play-in game as they’re currently the number seven seed in the Eastern Conference.
Although Cleveland hasn’t been playing well as of late, they were able to take home a victory in their most recent game against Orlando Magic on Monday, 107-101.
On the season, Cleveland has the 12th rated net rating, the 21st rated offensive rating, and the fourth rated defensive rating.

Free NBA Picks — Mavericks vs Cavaliers
For this game, I’m going to go with the Cleveland Cavaliers to cover the spread. The main reason why I’m going to take Cleveland to cover the spread is that there are some speculations that Luka Doncic might not be playing in this one.
Considering that Dallas is on a back-to-back, it would make sense from their perspective if they do decide to sit him to get ready for the playoffs.
