Nets vs Mavericks Prediction

The Mavericks have won 9 of the last 10 games against the Nets, and you can argue they’re not tanking despite their recent form. The Mavs still play guys who are healthy and try to compete. Still, that hasn’t stopped the Mavs from losing 10 of their last 11 games. Excuse me if I’m not running to the window to lay chalk on the road. The Mavs are 6-12 ATS in their last 18 games as a favorite. The Nets don’t have any players on their injury report. I’ll grab the bucket with the home team, but it’s a fade of the Mavs more than anything.
