I'd like to get some real info out on the table and see what all of you think about this game tonight. The line has been moving lower due to some really big money being put on the Spurs...locally here in Austin I am getting the game at 5.5, been at 6 most of the day. This is a VERY VERY big game for the Mavs, and this is the biggest pointspread between the two teams this year, and the Spurs are playing some great basketball right now.
Here's the raw meat:
-Mavs want the #2 seed
-Mavs are a horrible 10-29-1ATS at home this year
-Spurs are off a long high-scoring affair with MIN & Spurs are not good on back-to-backs (especially against motivational situations like this)
I want to take Dallas ML here (-230 locally), I am scared of the back-door cover, or it could be just another Texas shootout. I don't see Dallas loosing this game....Your thoughts everyone?
