Washington at Dallas

Both of these teams are off to 2-7 starts, but that was more expected of Dallas than the Wizards, who are only 2-7 ATS compared to 5-4 for the Mavericks. Dallas has covered the spread the last four meetings and nine of the last 10, including winning outright those nine times. Going back even further, the Mavericks have won 15 of the last 16 meetings outright. The Wizards did snap a five-game losing streak with a 108-95 victory over the lowly New York Knicks on Sunday as John Wall scored 26 points for Washington, which shot only 43.4 percent overall and 23.1 percent from three-point range. Dallas looks to snap a losing streak of its own and the Mavs are 6-0 ATS their last six games after a double-digit loss at home. The Wizards are 2-14 ATS their last 16 road games and 1-10 ATS their last 11 following an ATS win. Dallas is also 24-9 ATS after an ATS loss. Play the Mavericks.
