NBA Betting Trends
Portland

Prediction:
The Mavericks have covered the spread in both meetings with the Blazers this season. Dallas has been playing better as of late despite the loss to the Bucks. Dallas has been one of the more impressive teams at home when it comes to covering. The Mavericks are 18-8-1 against the spread at home while Portland is 10-13 against the spread on the road. I will go with the new-look Mavericks as a home underdog against an inconsistent road team in Portland.
NBA Prediction: Dallas Mavericks +2.5
