Los Angeles at Dallas

The LA Lakers have maintained their high level of play at home, but the road has been a much different story where they are just 5-11 straight up and an even worse 4-12 ATS. Dallas off an NBA Championship year a season ago with some new parts, but they are beginning to mesh in around a solid nucleas of talent. The Mavs can defend as well as anyone in the league and, after an 0-3 hangover start, they are now 21-9 and have won seven of their last eight. These teams rank fourth and sixth in fewest points allowed in the league and played to a 73-70 Laker win in LA. The Mavs are playing much above the line posted here and the Lakers way beneath it as the Lake-show is just 3-10 ATS on the road vs. a team with a winning home record in their last 13. The Mavs also a momentum driven 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 after a 10+ point win. The Lakers bring a 14-6-2 UNDER mark with them to Dallas as a road dog, while the Mavs at 13-5 to the UNDER off a day of rest. Play on Dallas and the UNDER.
