This is a 10* WEST-COAST EXPRESS on the Dallas Mavericks.

While I obviously feel that the outright win isn't out of the question, I will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can as I expect the home side to keep this one competitive and at the very least, sneak in through the back door down the stretch with the handful of points that it's been afforded. I jumped on this line the second it came out and only got 3.5, the line has since climbed, so you should hopefully be able to get a better number than I did, but regardless, I still love this selection. The Mavericks are going to be hungry today as they look to avoid the season sweep at the hands of the Warriors. It's hard not to imagine Golden State coming in complacent today as it's won 16 of 17 and 11 in a row. Golden State has been winning, but note that its last two games have not been easy, a 110-106 victory over the Clippers on Tuesday and a 107-106 effort over Phoenix on Thursday. I think the visitors come into this contest in a classic letdown spot. While Dallas is assured a place in the postseason, it's been scuffling of late in dropping five of seven, most recently a 108-101 setback by Houston on Thursday. There's no question in my mind that the Mavs come in focused tonight. This is a great situational play in my opinion, but it's also strong from a trend based stand point as note that Golden State is in fact a poor 9-10 ATS in its last 19 vs. poor defensive teams which allow 99 plus points per game. In my opinion, all signs do indeed point to DALLAS as the savvy move in this contest.
