Brooklyn Nets vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction
The Nets continue to lose and are 10-13 ATS despite being big underdogs nightly. The Mavs are enjoying their best week of the season, and they’ve covered 5 of their last 7 games. The Mavericks are starting to get healthier and the results are starting to show. If the Mavs are going to build on the positive vibes, these are games they need to take advantage of. The Nets are a below average team on both sides of the ball. This line is reasonable. I’ll ride the hot hand and side with the Mavs at home.
