Dallas Mavericks Betting Preview
The Dallas Mavericks have been in a major slump as they’ve lost seven of their last eight games overall. They will be hoping to put a halt to a five-game slide after getting beaten by the Suns in a 125-116 home defeat last night. Naji Marshall led the team with 34 points, nine rebounds, and 10 assists on 13 of 22 shooting, Klay Thompson added 26 points with five rebounds and four assists while Brandon Williams chipped in with 13 points and five assists. As a team, the Mavericks shot 48 percent from the field and 17 of 42 from the 3-point line, but their problems were on the defensive end as they allowed the Suns to get off to a quick start. They were never a threat after allowing 37 points in the third quarter to trail by 16 points. The Mavericks had a total of six players finishing in double figures in scoring, but there was no running down the Suns who were allowed to shoot over 58 percent from the field for the game.
San Antonio Spurs Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs have been in a real slump as they’ve lost seven of their last nine games overall. They will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after getting thrashed by the Timberwolves in a 141-124 road defeat last night. De’Aaron Fox led the team with 22 points on eight of 12 shooting, Stephon Castle added 20 points with seven rebounds and four assists off the bench while Harrison Barnes chipped in with 15 points. As a team, the Spurs shot 55 percent from the field and 11 of 30 from the 3-point line, which was good enough to trail by just eight points at halftime. However, all hope was lost after they allowed 41 points in the third quarter where the Timberwolves’ reserves ran riot. The Spurs will meet the Hornets after this game.

Spurs vs Mavericks Prediction
The Mavericks are still severely depleted with Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, Daniel Gafford ,and PJ Washington out, while the Spurs are still playing without Victor Wembenyama and Charles Bassey. Even with all the injuries, the Mavericks are still capable of getting the win if Thompson and Marshall can have big games like they did last night. However, the Spurs are still favorites at home despite their struggles, and I think they get the win behind a big game from Fox in this spot.
