The Mavericks (17-8) will be without their MVP candidate this evening when they go into Milwaukee to take on the Bucks (24-3).

When Dallas went up against Miami on Saturday, they lost more than just the game. After landing on Kendrick Nunn’s foot, Mavericks star Luka Doncic sprained his ankle and will be sidelined for today’s contest.

On average, the Mavericks are scoring 118.1 points while allowing 109 points per game.

The Pacers (15-9) are aiming to prove they’re a real threat in the Eastern Conference. They’ll have a chance to do so this evening when they host the Celtics (17-5) in Indiana.

Boston may be on the road for tonight’s contest, but they’re taking a four-game winning streak with them. While racking up those four wins, the Celtics scored at least 108 points in each and held their opponents to 95 points or fewer in three of the four games.

On average, the Celtics are scoring 110.6 points while allowing 102.8 points per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Lakers -6½ -110

The Magic (11-12) can get back to .500 with a win tonight, but to do so they’ll have to get by the Lakers (21-3), whom they host in Orlando.

The big chink in the armor for the Clippers (16-7) is their 3-6 record on the road. They’ll try to improve that mark today when they go into Washington D.C. to take on the Wizards (7-14).

Each of Los Angeles’ last four defeats have come on the road. Most recently, the Clippers have lost two of their last four games. In both of those defeats, Los Angeles could only muster 97 and 91 points while giving up 107 or more to San Antonio and then Milwaukee.

On average, the Clippers are scoring 114.4 points while allowing 108.3 points per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Magic -3 -110

Despite a poor road record of 2-7, a win over the Cavaliers (5-15) in Cleveland this evening would earn the Magic (10-11) a .500 record for the season.

Orlando seems to be getting it together after a 2-6 start to the year. Coming into tonight’s contest, the Magic are winners of their last three and four of their last five. Each of those four wins have come by four points or more, and Orlando has scored at least 116 points in three of them.

On average, the Magic are scoring 103.5 points per game while allowing 103.4 points per game.

On average, the Cavaliers are scoring 104.2 points while allowing 112.8 points per game.

Cleveland continues to struggle for offense. Collin Sexton leads the team with his 18.1 points per game.

The Warriors (4-18) currently own the worst record in the NBA. They’ll have a chance to improve that record tonight when they take on the Hornets (8-14) in Charlotte.

After picking up win No. 4 against Chicago, Golden State dropped three games in a row. Three of the Warriors’ last five losses have come by four points or fewer, and one of those was against Utah. Golden State will be facing lesser competition than that tonight.

On average, the Warriors are scoring 105.5 points while allowing 115.1 points per game.

In the absence of Steph Curry and D’Angelo Russell, the Warriors have to rely on the likes of Eric Paschall, who’s scoring 17.3 points per game. Paschall has recently led the team in scoring alongside Glenn Robinson III (11.6 ppg).
