Both teams enter Saturday’s action with a ton of promise for the season ahead but the Mavericks have really taken a step forward from last season as players like Luka Donic start to mature this former 3rd overall pick in 2018 is a genuine superstar in the making averaging 29.6 points per game 9.7 rebounds and 9 assists per game almost a triple double. One thing that the Mavs are not doing well this year is win at home something they hope to start doing in a big way Saturday.
The Dallas Mavericks are 11-9 at home this season and are off another disappointing home loss the other night to the Denver Nuggets a game I personally had the Mavs winning and covering. Where the Mavs have struggled at home Philadelphia has had the opposite problem they have struggled on the road this season coming into this showdown with the Mavericks the Sixers are just 7-12 SU on the road.

Sixers come in rested but off a major emotional win over the Boston Celtics at home and without Joel Embiid. Joel will miss this game as well has he will have to have surgery on his hand for a tore ligament. Not having him on Thursday was no big deal as the Sixers fought through it but he brings a huge stat loss to the table not having Joel.
Sixers are lead by Ben Simmons in his absent he has done everything for the Sixers on both ends of the court as Ben averages 15.1 points per game 7.5 rebounds and 8.4 assists. Ben should be able to pick up his scoring in this big game for Philadelphia. Sixers also have Tobias Harris who is averaging 19.4 points per game.
