We faded the Spurs off short rest earlier this season and we'll do the same here as this aged team is playing on back-to-back nights and this is also their third game in four days. The loss of Manu Ginobili only makes a bad situation worse. Dallas has more depth to deal with the shortened rest. This is an important game for Dallas. It's a statement game against a very good team and in-state rival. And, it allows them to climb out of their hole to get to .500 on the season. The Mavs have posted a 43-20 ATS mark the past two seasons vs. winning teams. They are also 24-12 ATS as an underdog over that span. Finally, under Rick Carlisle, this team is 84-59 ATS on the road and 91-69 ATS vs. winning teams. Take the Mavs here.
