Mavericks vs Spurs Prediction
Both teams are on the end of a back-to-back; the Spurs are obviously getting the love because of what they did last season. However, this line is thick. The Spurs haven’t been impressive through two games, and you have to wonder if there’s a hangover factor here. Wemby looks a little shaky, and the offense isn’t flowing just yet. The Mavs have held their own through two games and just went into Indiana and left with a comfortable victory. Yes, the Spurs were 4-0 SU and ATS in four games against the Mavs last season, but these Mavericks are healthier and are shooting the rock at a solid clip. I’ll grab the boatload of points.
