San Antonio Spurs @ Dallas Mavericks

The Spurs are finding form at the right time for a playoff push and this can be seen in the form of Tony Parker. The player, who has shown an excellent run of form for so long in the NBA, has struggled to get going this season but in recent games, he has turned on the style. Over the course of the season, the Spurs and the Mavericks are on a par but with two losses in a row, the Mavericks need to rekindle their earlier season form before too long.

For average points scored, the Mavericks lead 104.6 to 102.5 while for average points allowed, the Spurs lead 97.8 to 101.1.

The Spurs are likely to be without Manu Ginobili while Jeff Ayres and Aron Baynes are being monitored on a day to day basis while for the Mavericks both Devin Harris and J Barea are being closely monitored.

Taking the Spurs at -3, with a handicap of 1.90, is likely to be a sensible bet going into this game. Bet Now!
