Dallas Mavericks -3.0
Mavericks are hanging onto the last playoff spot in the Western Conference by just 1 game after 3 straight losses. The Blazers have been impressive this year sitting nicely in the play off race 6.5 games ahead of the Mavericks and have won 6 of their last 7 games although against weaker opposition then they meet today. ...
After seeing all of this it leaves us thinking the wrong side is favoured here, but as we look deeper into it apart from the fact that this game could define the Mavericks season they are an astounding 41-15 ATS following an ATS loss and are playing with revenge tonight after being embarrassed 127-111 last time these 2 teams met in Dallas a bit over a month ago.
As good of a season as the Trailblazers have had they have struggled against stronger opposition going 2-9 overall and 0-6 on the road against teams with a record over .500. After bringing all this into consideration we believe the bookies have set this line correctly and we will take the home side with it all on the line.
