Dallas at Portland

The Dallas Mavericks have certainly fared better now that Dirk Nowitzki is healthy and getting regular minutes as they have won six of their last eight games. But, four of the six wins have come at the expense of losing teams. Portland is even on the season at 22-22, but have been a tough out on home hardwood where they stand at 15-8 on the season. They should be even more focused here as they suffered a 23-point loss to the Mavs in their last meeting earlier this season. Portland is also off a double-digit loss - a situation they have responded to with perfection at 5-0 ATS the last five occurrences. Take Portland in this one.
