Brooklyn Nets vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction

The Mavericks are going to get the benefit of the donut because they’re the better team on paper and at home, but I’m not laying chalk here. The Mavs are banged up, can’t string together wins, and are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games. The Nets at the very least have covered 6 of their last 10 games, and actually have seen 6 of their 11 wins come on the road. Back in March, the Nets beat the Mavericks outright as a double-digit underdog. The Mavs should be favored, but it’s Nets and the points or pass for me.
