This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Dallas Mavericks.

For a number of different reasons I like the home side to pull away down the stretch for the comfortable ATS cover. Dallas has won the last four straight in this series and will be motivated to return to its winning ways after Friday's 118-106 loss to Phoenix which snapped a four-game win streak. While the Mavericks did beat the Bucks 107-105 in Milwaukee on Wednesday, they did not cover the spread. One player to keep your eyes on is big man Tyson Chandler who had 18 points and 20 boards in the win over the Bucks. Milwaukee is coming off a 109-85 win over Miami on Friday (I successfully played on the UNDER in that one), the victory snapped a three-game slide. Note though that the Bucks are a poor 2-3 ATS this year off an upset win as an underdog and just 1-3 ATS after allowing 85 points or less. And note that Dallas is 50-42 ATS in its last 92 vs. teams with winning records. In my opinion, all signs do indeed point to the MAVERICKS as the sharp move here.
