Final Say

Dallas had an amazing comeback against Golden State not too long ago, and you’d have thought that as good as a team that Golden State is, they would have bounced back against the Timberwolves but they didn’t. They are in a funk going 1-7 ATS in their last eight games, while going 1-6 ATS in their last seven versus a Western conference opponent. Dallas has been on fire going 8-2 SU and 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games, and 5-0 ATS in their last five games. You’d think the money would be more even between these squads considering the form they are in, and because Dallas beat them on their home court last time out, but that is not the case. People are expecting this good Golden State squad to bounce-back, but I’m not seeing it tonight. Dallas is too hot, while Golden State is not. Roll with the Mavericks to continue streaking. 

Pick: Dallas Mavericks -1.5
