The Milwaukee Bucks host the Dallas Mavericks in NBA action tonight.
These are two of the worst teams in the league, but there are a few reasons why my Mavericks vs. Bucks predictions favor the home side.
I explain with my best free NBA picks on Tuesday, March 31.
Mavericks vs Bucks prediction
Mavericks vs Bucks best bet: Bucks moneyline (+110)
Both squads have been terrible lately, with the Dallas Mavericks winning just three of their last 18 games and the Giannis Antetokounmpo-less Milwaukee Bucks going 3-14 in their previous 17. The Bucks are last in the NBA in net rating (-17.3) since the start of March, while Dallas is 28th (-11.5).
That said, the Mavs are on the road and could be tired after losing by 30 points to Minnesota last night.
Meanwhile, the Bucks enjoyed a day off after losing at home to the Clippers on Sunday. They should also have Myles Turner, Bobby Portis, and Ryan Rollins back in the lineup after they missed the previous contest.
They are three of Milwaukee's Top 6 scorers this season (with another being the still-sidelined Antetokounmpo), so having that trio active will boost the Bucks' chances of winning.
That's enough for me to back them at plus money against a Dallas squad that has Cooper Flagg and not much else.
Mavericks vs Bucks same-game parlay
Since both teams have nothing to play for, we've seen little effort from them on the defensive end of the floor. That has me backing a couple of player props in this SGP.
Daniel Gafford has stepped up as the Mavs' No. 2 scoring option and has logged 24+ points and rebounds in seven of his last eight games.
Meanwhile, Rollins has knocked down more than 2.5 threes in six of his last eight games. He'll torch a Dallas squad that is allowing 14.3 threes per game at 38.6% clip since the start of February.

- Bucks moneyline
- Daniel Gafford Over 22.5 points + rebounds
- Ryan Rollins Over 2.5 threes
Our "from downtown" SGP: Planting his Flagg
Flagg is coming off a night against Minnesota, where he went just 5-for-19 from the field. That said, the Rookie of the Year favorite should bounce back against a Milwaukee squad that is second-last in the league in defensive rating since the All-Star break.
Flagg has dropped 5+ dimes in 12 of 14 games this month, and he also makes plays on the defensive end. He has logged 2+ steals in five of his last seven games while blocking at least one shot in six of his previous eight contests.
