Dallas is looking to avenge a 102-96 home loss to Detroit on March 9 as the Mavericks battle for a playoff spot in the Western Conference. Dallas has won two in a row with wins over Denver and New York with J.J. Barea scoring a team-high 26 points against the Knicks. The Mavericks shot just 41.2 percent but their defense held the Kincks to 3-of-17 from three-point range. Detroit bounced back from a blowout loss to Atlanta with an 88-82 win over Oklahoma City when both teams shot nearly 38 percent in a defensive battle and Marcus Morris led the Pistons with 24 points. Detroit is 1-4 ATS its last five games after an ATS win and Dallas has covered five of the last seven meetings in Detroit. Also, the Mavs are 5-1 ATS their last six road games. Take the points and play the Mavericks.
