Orlando at Dallas

These teams have played about even to this point of the season, but they may not be after all. The Mavericks made it look like they were a better team than they really are with a 9-3 run, but things are turning back to normal in Big "D" as the Mavs have resumed their losing ways. Orlando's current 4-15 run makes them look like they are about even with Dallas, but I don't think that is the case. Coach Carlise has seen his teams go 41-59 ATS at home after allowing 100+ points in at least two straight contests, and is just 56-77 ATS when playing to a total of 200 to 209.5. Take the points on orlando in this one.
