With Dallas' best player Nowitzke out, or hobbled
by his recent injury injury, the Maviercks will
have to play defensively to have a chance. Their
offensive gunner is missing and their other guys
will become easier to cover because of that.
Slowing tempo is the only way they have a shot to
win. Be careful about going against the home dog
playing without their best player. Teams frequently
rise to occasion in that situation, with help
from the officials. If you think that sounds crazy
then all you need to do is remember back to last
week, when Sacramento won on their home floor without
Chris Webber, and still took a lot of free throws (32)
despite their leading free-throw taker being out.
Not interested in the side play for that reason.
UNDER the Total of 204.5
