San Antonio at Dallas

The San Antonio Spurs have an abundance of playoff experience, which should help them here opening on the road vs. the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs made moves to improve their team late in the season, adding Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood. This still remains an overrated team. The Spurs understand that the path to playoff success is on the defensive end of the floor. They have gone 7-1 to the UNDER as a dog of 4.5 or less in their last eight. The Mavs have gone 14-6 to the UNDER in their last 20 as a playoff favorite. I'll go with the UNDER here.
