Skybook has your Mavs vs. Kings betting line, which had dropped 1.5 points after Dallas got destroyed by Golden State last night.  Gambling911.com has your fantasy picks for this game as well. For gamblers, we have a dangerous free pick for this game.

The line was settling in somewhat at -2.5 after dropping to -2.  It had opened Wednesday afternoon at -3.5. 80 to 90% of the morning action was on Dallas and Gambling911 anticipates around 80% of the backing will be for the Mavs moving into this afternoon.

Dallas may have dominated this series over the last five games but the Kings have covered in four of those so for fantasy pundits who believe this won’t be a competitive matchup, we believe it will be.  Sacramento has lost within 4 points in four of those games.

The Kings DeMarcus Cousins will get a tough battle on Thursday from Dallas center Tyson Chandler so he may not be the more precious of fantasy plays this evening, especially with Cousins battling through an ankle injury.  Cousins will get plenty of minutes however.

Ben McLemore at $3.9K could be a decent fantasy play this evening as he scored 18 points on only nine field-goal attempts the other night.  Expect McLemore to start getting more minutes.

NBA Player Fantasy Salaries for Today:
Dallas Mavericks -  M. Ellis $7.7K, C. Parsons $5.6K, D. Nowitzki $6.2K, T. Chandler $6.3K, J. Barea $3.4K (Feb 5)

Sacramento Kings – B. McLemore $3.9K, D. Williams $3K, D. Collison $6.4K, R.Gay $7.5K, D. Cousins $10.5K (Feb 5)

Sacramento F Rudy Gay has scored 20 or more points in each of the last four games so there is some degree of value with Gay in this situation.

With the line moves and Sacramento’s ability to play close Gambling911.com will be on the Kings +2.5 for a very small play.
