Spurs at Mavericks picks and predictions
Prediction
Mavericks 118, Spurs 112
Moneyline
PASS.
There’s no value here. The Mavericks (-500) are the better side and have the rest advantage, but they are too expensive to play on the ML.
Against the spread
BET SPURS +10.5 (-110).
The Spurs are 1-0 ATS this season as double-digit underdogs, and they are 5-5 ATS in their last 10. San Antonio has scored at least 110 points — and hasn’t lost by double digits — in 5 straight games.
The Mavericks have dropped 4 straight games, including their last home game (114-113 vs. the Phoenix Suns Nov. 8). They are just 2-3 straight up/ATS in their last 5 at home. Dallas’ defense has struggled lately, as well, allowing at least 114 points per game over its last 4.
Take SPURS +10.5 (-110).
Over/Under
BET OVER 229.5 (-110).
The Mavericks have gone Over in 2 of their last 3 games and scored at least 113 points in 6 in a row. Dallas has allowed at least 120 in 2 of its last 3.
The Spurs are 2-0 O/U in their last 2 games and 6-2 O/U in their last 8. They’ve scored at least 110 points in 5 straight games and allowed at least 120 in their last 2. Considering those trends, especially on the defensive end, back OVER 229.5 (-110).
