Arsenal and Brentford are worlds apart in their financial firepower, but the Gunners will need to be on guard when they visit the Bees on Thursday. Powered in part by the emergence of Brazilian striker Igor Thiago, who is second in the league with 17 goals, Brentford have climbed to seventh in the table under first-year manager Keith Andrews. Arsenal is in first place thanks to the strength of their defense, but Thiago will be difficult to contain for 90 minutes. With the Gunners are jut three points ahead of Manchester City, Arsenal will need to be at their best -- and it is unclear whether stars Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard will be available to suit up. The SportsLine Projection Model has Over 2.5 goals hitting in 58% of its simulations.

The Dallas Mavericks will look to avoid more misery when they LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. It's been a bad year for Dallas, with the specter of the Luka Doncic trade still hanging over the franchise. The centerpiece of the Mavs' return for Doncic, Anthony Davis, has already been flipped to Washington in an unceremonious salary dump. Dallas has lost eight straight games, and a trip to Los Angeles to take on the Lakers will make a ninth seem likely -- especially with star rookie Cooper Flagg out. Doncic has been ruled out for the game with a hamstring injury, but the SportsLine model still has the Lakers covering in 67% of its simulations.
