Dallas at San Antonio

The oddsmakers have labeled Dallas the better team here, with San Antonio playing at home and the line below what the normal home court advantage would be. The difference is the experience of the Spurs in the playoffs. Dallas went for 110+ in nine of their last 21 games, but have only averaged 92.7ppg in the three vs the Spurs. The Spurs know how to win with defense, something Dallas has yet to learn. The Mavs have failed in their last four as a dog in the playoffs, while the Spurs are 20-6-2 ATS as a playoff favorite, rarely get caught off guard. San Antonio gets this one.
