Both of these teams have had to learn to compensate without top players as Dirk Nowitzki continues to rehab his knee, and the 76ers no longer have their stabilizer in Andre Iguoldala. They have both hovered around the .500 mark, trading wins for loses. That has been especially true for the Mavs with no streak beyond one game in their last six. Off the loss they should be ready to perform, especially after dropping an embarrassing decision to the Lakers by 26 points. NBA teams that are off a loss of 25 or more points that are playing as a road dog and are rested, against an opponent with a winning percentage of greater than .550 cover 58.5% of all games. The Sixers are just 1-5 ATS in their last six vs. the Southwest. The dog has only failed to cover one of the last six in this series. Take Dallas and the points in this one.
