Dallas at Washington

One thing that happens when a team starts to win some games, is they learn how to take care of their home-court. Then, when they get even a little better, the next step is being able to win on the road. Washington epitomizes exactly that. They have a better home record at 6-2 than Dallas has a road record 5-2. The look back from mid last year shows Washington has won 19 of its last 25 at home while Dallas is 12-11 on the road. Washington has averaged 111 ppg at home, and just 88.5 ppg on the road. That is a 23 point difference. We are not making Washington out to be a powerhouse, but what they are is a very tough team at home. And the Dallas win streak of 12 games is going to be severely challenged tonight. It is the kind of motivating challenge to which a young team will responds. Since they play like a high caliber playoff team in their own arena, we will back them in this motivational spot getting points.
