NBA Betting Trends

Dallas

The Mavericks are 15-5-1 against the spread in their last 21 games as a road favorite and 36-16-3 ATS in their last 55 road games overall.

San Antonio

The Spurs are 11-23 against the spread in their last 34 home games, but 15-5 ATS in their last 20 games as a home underdog.

Prediction:

Dallas has won both meetings with the Spurs this season, but the two haven’t met since Dec. 26. San Antonio did manage to cover in the last encounter. It’s been a long time since the Spurs played at home. Returning home could provide a nice boost for San Antonio. Even without Aldridge, the Spurs have some shooting options. Their defense is a concern, but I would expect it to be better at home. We have seen the Mavericks struggle with losing teams like the Hawks and the Wizards on the road in recent weeks, so I am going to roll the dice with the Spurs at home tonight.

NBA Prediction: San Antonio Spurs +5
