The Mavericks are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games and 7-18-2 ATS in their last 27 games overall. The Timberwolves are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games. The under is 6-1 in Mavericks last 7 Wednesday games. The under is 4-0 in Timberwolves last 4 Wednesday games. The Mavericks are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Minnesota.

Both of these teams are banged up and have a lot of players questionable. The bottom line is the Dallas Mavericks are in one of those funks again, and they just lost to the Timberwolves on Monday. The home team has won 8 of the last 10 meetings between these clubs. The Mavs lose on the road by an average of 4.7 points. I'm losing trust in the Mavericks by the day, as it's often Luka being forced to do everything. Give me the Timberwolves and the free buckets.
