Dallas at Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Lakers have under-achieved all season long. They are fighting for a playoffs spot, despite having the talent on their roster to be a championship quality team. Sometimes the parts are greater than the whole, and that is the case here. Dallas has been a different team with Dirk Nowitzki on the court, and have gone 23-1 in their last 36 games. The Lakers made a run to get back in the hunt, but are stumbling once again at 2-4 in their last six, despite five of the six games vs. teams with a losing record. The Mavs are 26-12 ATS in their last 38 overall, while the erratic Lakers just 13-37-1 ATS in their last 51 following an ATS win. Take the Mavericks.
