San Antonio lost a heartbreaker on Saturday 126-125 as the Spurs became the latest victim of Luka Doncic's heroics as he poured in 51 points, including two free throws with 4.5 seconds and Tre Jones then missed one of two free throws to seal the win for the Mavericks. Even so, the Spurs shot 55 percent with Keldon Johnson scoring 30 points. Brooklyn has won 11 in a row, but this is a scheduling trap for the Nets as they are home following three road games and their record as home favorites has been abysmal the last seasons at 12-36-2 ATS. Also, the Nets are due to cool off after shooting 55.9 percent their past three games. San Antonio has covered five of six playing with one day of rest and five of seven versus teams with winning records. The Spurs have been successful in getting the money at Brooklyn where they are 16-6 ATS the past 22 meetings. Take the Spurs ATS and on the money line.
