Luka Doncic has scored over 30 points in three straight and 20 of his last 31 games. The 23-year-old has been terrorizing defenses as the Mavericks have gone 21-10 during that stretch. Washington has allowed over 110 points in five of their last seven contests, so expect another monster 35-point performance from Doncic as he leads Dallas to victory.

Spencer Dinwiddie is going to amped up to face the Wizards, especially after the way things ended for him in Washington. Expect the 6’5 guard to drop 25 on Friday night as the Mavericks cover the spread and the game goes over 220.

Kristaps Porzingis will score 25 of his own, but it will not be enough for Washington on their home floor.
