Playing one game pretty large so far:


DALLAS MAVARICKS -9.5


Dallas should be looking forward to this game tonight. Their last game they played was against this very same Clippers team on Saturday. A game in which the Mavs scored 133 points en route to a 21 pt victory over the Clipps. I think the players on this team will be looking to pad their offensive stats again. Dallas loves to run and the "old fashion shootout" as Coach Don Nelson likes to call it will probably develop again tonight.

Dallas who is 17-5 @ home this year is currently in a middle of a 3 game homestand in which they have Houston on deck who they beat last time out, so they will not be looking ahead at all.

LA Clippers on the other hand are 3-15 away from home and I just don't think they'll be able to keep pace with Dallas tonight. The Clips are just 3-6 ATS on zero days rest

LA may be both physically and mentally drained for this game. Not only are they playing this game on zero days rest and traveling, the game they played last night was very draining. LA had a comfortable 12 pt lead at the half only to be down by 9 with less than three minutes remaining in the game. LA made a huge run at the end to force overtime, only to lose in the extra session. Very emotionally as well as physically exhausting. This does not bode well when they face a team like the Mavericks tonight.

Odom of course is still out for the Clippers and Nowitzki as well as the rest of the team should just rack up the pts.


Still looking at a couple more games...may add later.


Good luck in all your plays today.

The Mavs have been a great play for the last month. On a lot of occasions, I've looked at the spread and thought something was wrong. Team doesn't look as if it's affected by Finley being gone.

The Clippers are awful on the road and Dallas plays the up tempo game which makes the points spreads less meaningful than in your average NBA game.

Combine that with everything you mentioned above:

Dallas should get it done by 15+.

ndn, Mem and Dal are on the same time and it is only a one hour flight plus the BS at the terminal. The Clips seem to handle back to backs pretty well, keeping most of their loses fairly close. I would put more stock in how hard they played to win and then lost. They could be mentally beat and very down for this game. If they had won last night it would be a different story. Good luck
