Dallas at Brooklyn

Dallas has a winning record both home and away, off an impressive blowout win at Cleveland yesterday, 109-90, so they got the starters some late rest. They are tops in the NBA in scoring. Dallas is percentage points behind first-place Memphis in the division, and the Mavericks' 15-3 record against the East is certainly vital to that. The Mavericks are 6-1 ATS against the Eastern Conference, plus a sizzling 61-26 ATS in their last 87 road games.  The Mavs, who had 30 assists Sunday, are 6-2 since acquiring Rajon Rondo from Boston, and Monta Ellis is having fun with his new partner in the backcourt. Brooklyn is a marginal team with plenty of weak spots. They can't keep up with good teams as the Nets are 3-7 ATS against a team with a winning record. And when these teams meet, the road team is 5-0 ATS. Play Dallas.
