Dallas at Los Angeles

You have to know that the state of the Dallas Mavericks is torturing fiery owner Mark Cuban. Since their 50 win campaign back in 2014, the Mavericks have seen three straight years of erosion to the win column. The Mavs have a secret, however, despite the ugly 23-51 straight up record. They are not as far away as it seems, and keep collecting wins for bettors when moderately to somewhat high priced as a dog. The Mavs are 23-8 ATS as a dog from +5 to +10. (19-4 ATS most recently). They have improved and have won 34% of those outright, placing some true value on the moneyline. The Lakers have the appearance of being better than they are, as they had a 17-7 run, but otherwise are 15-34 on the season, and just 1-5 SU in their last six. Take Dallas on the moneyline.
