Mavericks at Cavaliers odds, injury report, predictions, TV channel for Dec. 17

The Dallas Mavericks were dominated by the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night in Dallas. Luka Doncic scored 30, but Dallas only managed to put up 90 points in a disappointing loss. Luckily, the Mavs do not have to wait long for revenge.

Both teams are on the second night of a back-to-back set heading into Saturday’s showdown. The Mavs defeated the Blazers on Friday night as Cleveland defeated the Pacers. Both teams played at home, so the Mavericks have to make the journey to Ohio to face the Cavs.
