Orlando at Dallas

Nothing will put some pump in the line like a struggling team. Orlando personifies that, having lost seven straight games, covering none of them and coming no closer than 16 in their last five. Dallas can't be very focused for this one, especially knowing they head for the West Coast for their next three games against three teams that have a combined record of 75-37. Big lines are always a dangerous situation for a team that has no motive to bring it, has big games looming, and chooses to conserve energy just to get the win and get out healthy without expending a lot of energy. The Mavs have made a habit of that as they are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 at home vs. a team with a losing road record. Make the play on Orlando.
