Dallas Mavericks vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/31/26

Tonight’s game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Milwaukee Bucks will be a makeup from a game that was postponed back on January 25th. With both teams now well out of the playoff picture, the Bucks and Mavericks will battle in Milwaukee as the season comes near an end. The Mavericks have lost six of their last seven games, and they are 10-26 when playing on the road this season. Dallas was routed by Minnesota yesterday 124-94. Cooper Flagg didn’t have his best game, only scoring 12 points off of 5-19 shooting from the field. Flagg has been struggling lately to see his jumpshot fall. In his last ten games, Flagg is only shooting 17% from three. Despite this, Flagg is still averaging 21.2 points per game in his last ten games. That game was played in Dallas, so the Mavericks have a long way to travel to play in their second game of a back-to-back. The Bucks have lost their last four games, and they are 16-21 on their home floor this season. With Giannis Antetokounmpo out of the lineup, other players have needed to step up. Gary Trent Jr. has led the Bucks in scoring in three of their last four games. He is coming off a 36 point game in his last contest. Ryan Rollins is listed as the team’s leading scorer with 17 points per game. Rollins is listed on the injury report with a hip injury, but he is probable for tonight’s game. The under has been profitable for both of these teams this season. The under has a record of 41-33 in Bucks games and 42-33 in Mavericks games, but these numbers have not shown to be consistent near the end of the season. The over has hit in three of the last five games for both teams. If we widen the scope a bit farther, the over is 5-5 in the Bucks last ten games and 6-4 for the Mavericks. This is likely due to each team tanking as the season winds down to an end. With neither team intent on winning games, defensive effort has relaxed. The Bucks have allowed 122.6 points per game in their last ten games, while the Mavericks have allowed 126.8 points per game in their last ten games. With this total at an achievable 228.5, I like for this game to go over the total even with Dallas playing in the second half of back-to-back.

Over 228.5 is available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.
