3* - Dallas Mavericks (-4?)
The Mavs are hot and are riding the league?s longest winning streak of the season with 12 consecutive wins. During that span, they have gone 10-2 ATS and are averaging 101.9 points per game. The key to their recent success has been their improvement on defense and they are holding their opponents to nearly three points below their average at 93.2 points per game on the season and 87.4 points per game over the course of this streak.
Miami is also playing solid ball right now but against the upper echelon teams in the league, they are just not getting the job done as they have yet to beat Detroit, San Antonio, Phoenix, Denver or Dallas this season. The last time the Heat faced Dallas they lost at home by a score of 103-90. While Miami has a nice 30-19 record, 13 of those losses came in road games where they are .500 this year.
The Mav?s streak continues tonight and for the icing on the cake, 13 is my lucky number.
