Dallas Has Been Slumping Despite Luka Doncic's Elite Play

Luka Doncic scored 24 points and added nine assists and seven rebounds in a 105-100 loss on the road to the Toronto Raptors on Saturday night. With the loss, the Mavericks fell to 0-3 SU over their last three games and to 1-11 ATS over their last 12 games. Dallas went 6-3 SU in its first nine games this season and is 3-6 SU in its nine games since then.

Doncic is producing MVP-caliber numbers thus far in 2022-23, leading the NBA in scoring with 34 points per game and ranking eighth in the NBA in rebounds with nine per game and fourth in the NBA in assists with 8.1 per game. With a generational superstar in Doncic and an excellent defense that has allowed only 106.5 points per game this season, the Mavericks should be doing better than their current 9-9 SU record; but they need scoring depth behind their toung star.

Milwaukee Has Cooled Off Since Red-Hot Start

The Bucks picked up a nice win at home over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night, covering the 4-point spread in a comfortable 117-102 victory. The win was a nice step in the right direction for Milwaukee after the team had gone just 2-4 SU and 1-5 ATS over its previous six games. Giannis Antetokoumpo did most of the heavy lifting on offense with 38 points and six assists against the Cavaliers.

Milwaukee is now 4-5 SU and 3-6 ATS over its last nine games. Through their first nine games, the Bucks were 9-0 SU and 8-1 ATS with an average margin of victory of 13.3 points per game. Bucks fans and backers will be hoping that Friday's big win sparks another dominant run like that season-Sportsbook one.
