John Martin
1 Unit FREE PLAY on Dallas Mavericks +7
The San Antonio Spurs will be playing the second of a back-to-back after a 116-106 home win over the short-handed Oklahoma City Thunder last night. They take on a pesky Dallas Mavericks team that is 4-5 SU but 6-3 ATS in their last nine games overall. The Mavericks have been competitive in 11 consecutive games and won't go down easily tonight. They are the much fresher team playing just their 2nd game in 5 days. Give me the Mavericks.
