San Antonio Spurs vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction
You can argue this is a letdown spot for the Spurs after playing last night and beating up on the Thunder. However, the Mavericks have a lengthy injury report and are down players due to trades as well. Tough spot for the Mavs and a spot where the Spurs and the healthier roster should be able to take advantage. I have to lay the points with the Spurs.
