Tuesday’s Best NBA Bets: Mavericks vs. Lakers

(Odds courtesy of Caesars Sportsbook)

Mavericks vs. Lakers

The last time these teams played, the Los Angeles Lakers won the tipoff. Anthony Davis can do that again tonight. He is one of the most consistent players at winning the tipoff. His size and athletic ability make it easy for him to win the first possession.

That is the reason I like Davis to score the first basket tonight. He is one of the toughest players to defend, and the Lakers like to get him involved early and often on offense. Davis is starting to heat up. Bettors will want to keep an eye on him this season.

Bet: Anthony Davis (+320)
