Back the Mavs, Reeling Lakers and Dysfunctional Nuggets in Trio of Saturday NBA Betting Picks

The Dallas Mavericks, reeling Los Angeles Lakers and dysfunctional Denver Nuggets are all looking good against the value-packed BetOnline NBA betting odds in the BetOnline basketball sportsbook for their own different reasons.

In the case of the Mavs, they’re just playing excellent basketball against a mediocre team. The Lakers are absolutely desperate after having their universe rocked in recent losses to Boston and San Antonio.

The dysfunctional Denver Nuggets can score the ball – and will face one of the league’s least inspiring ballclubs.

Here’s my signature, fact-based betting analysis on all three matchups and accompanying NBA betting picks.

Dallas at Charlotte 7:00 PM ET

Key Head –to-Head Basketball Trends

• Mavericks are 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Charlotte.
• Mavericks are 8-2-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
• Under is 4-1-1 in the last 6 meetings in Charlotte.
• Favorite is 7-3-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
• Road team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

Analysis: Dallas had won five straight heading into Friday night while Charlotte had gone 1-2 SU and ATS in its three games previous to Friday night.

Prediction: Clearly the Dallas Mavericks are the correct pick against a inconsistent Charlotte team that has disappointed under two different head coaches this season.

Dallas is 5-0 against the online NBA betting odds in their last five road games against the Bobcats and I see no reason why they won’t make it six straight in this matchup.

Back the Mavericks to cash in against the online NBA betting lines as a slight road favorite in this matchup.

NBA Pick: Dallas Mavericks for the SU and ATS Win

L.A. Lakers at New Orleans 8:00 PM ET

Key Head –to-Head Trends

• Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.
• Lakers are 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings in New Orleans.
• Lakers are 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
• Underdog is 16-5 ATS in the last 21 meetings.
• Road team is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings.

Analysis: The Lakers have won two straight in this series and I going to advise pro basketball betting enthusiasts to back them in this contest out of sheer desperation from the Lakers if nothing else following their heart-breaking last second loss to the Spurs n Thursday night.

Prediction: Lakers to Record SU and ATS Win

Denver at Minnesota 8:30 PM ET

Key Head –to-Head Trends

• Nuggets are 5-0-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Minnesota.
• Nuggets are 1-3-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
• Road team is 15-5-1 ATS in the last 21 meetings.
• Underdog is 4-0-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

Analysis: The Nuggets have won four straight over the Timberwolves but were playing just so-so basketball in dropping two of its last three games Both SU and ATS heading into Friday night. Nevertheless, the Nuggets are the right pick to beat the reeling Timberwolves who had dropped seven of its last eight games heading into Friday night while recording a pitiful 2-6 ATS mark in its last eight games overall.

Prediction: Denver Nuggets for SU and ATS Win
