Dallas at Boston

The Dallas Mavericks have lost a few key pieces to their Championship team from a year ago, but still have a lot of talent in the house and playing in the Garden will certainly have them amped up here. Boston has been hurt by the lockout perhaps as much as any team and their roster is showing its age as they have really struggled at 4-4. This might be a valid number on last year's Boston team, but this year I think there is early value playing against them. Boston's recent track record vs. the NBA Southwest sits at 2-7 ATS in their last nine, while the Mav's are a potent 36-15-2 ATS in their last 53 vs. a team with a winning home record, which bumps up to 13-2-1 ATS in their last 16 vs. a team with a home winning percentage of reater than .600. Dallas in this one.
