Wow, what a revenge spot for the Mavs after taking a beating by the Warriors in the opener of this two-game set a couple of days ago. It was a bad spot for the Mavs who were playing on no rest after defeating Atlanta the night before, but they will have their energy levels back to normal for this one. Dallas has won only one of its last seven games, but I think Thursday's shellacking will serve as a wake-up call and we should see a hyper-motivated Mavs team take the court tonight.

8* play on Dallas.
