The Dallas Mavericks will face the Washington Wizards on Thursday at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. The Mavericks are 14-8 and their place in the Western Conference, 2.5 games back of the Thunder. The Wizards are struggling with a 2-17 record, placing them at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, and worst record in the NBA. Dallas has won five consecutive games, showcasing strong form as they average 118 ppg while allowing 11.6 ppg. Washington is on a 15-game losing streak, including six straight home losses. The Wizards average just 107 ppg while allowing 122.8 ppg. The Mavericks are led by Luka Doncic who averages of 28.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 8.0 assists per game. Jordan Poole is the top scorer for the Wizards, averaging 21.0 points and 4.9 assists per game. In their last meeting on February 12, 2024, the Mavericks defeated the Wizards 112-104. This is a lot to lay on the road, but the Mavs are playing very well and the Wizards don't look to have much interest in even playing. Take Dallas.

 Week 14 begins here on Thursday as the the Green Bay Packers (9-3) and the Detroit Lions (11-1) face off from Ford Field in Detroit. The Lions are on a remarkable 10-game winning streak, leading the NFC North. Their offense averages 31.9 points per game, the highest in the NFL, while their defense has allowed an average of 13.75 points over the last four games. The Packers have won seven of their last eight games, including a recent 30-17 victory over the Miami Dolphins. Quarterback Jordan Love has been efficient, completing 21 of 28 passes for 278 yards in the latest win. In their earlier encounter on November 3, 2024, the Lions defeated the Packers 24-14 at Lambeau Field. Safety Kerby Joseph contributed significantly with a 27-yard interception return for a touchdown. Both teams have lengthy injury reports which isn't odd this time of year. This will be a duel of QB's with the Lions Jared Goff facing Jordan Love of the Packers. This is a big divisional contest and I will be taking the Packers here on Thursday. I also like the over to go along with this side. Both teams will put up plenty of points here on Thursday. Should be an excellent contest as I take the Packers and the OVER.
