Premium Pick

At 20-31 on the season, Dallas  is a bad team that got hot for awhile, as many bad teams do, but they ultimately regress into what they really are. They went 9-4 in a 13 game stretch, but dropped their last game by 23 points on the road in Denver. They now have to turn around off a pair of road games, and come home and play on no rest. That has been a recipe for disaster for an NBA team as a team that is off two or more road games, and are now playing at home as a dog are 192-252-6 ATS, covering a scant 43.2%. That drops to 39% ATS, if their last game was in Denver or Utah, so on zero rest off a game at high altitude, play on Portland.
