Los Angeles at Dallas

The Dallas Mavericks lost some key pieces from their Championship team from a year ago. They are also lowering the regular season workload of Dirk Nowitski, their best player. Nowitski is playing a few less minutes per night, and his points have dropped significantly from a year ago at over 5 points less per game. The focal point has become the defense. After allowing 104 points or more in their first three games this season, the Mavs have allowed just one team to top the 104-point mark since in 25 games. These teams played a game at Los Angeles earlier this year that reached just 180 points. These clubs have also produced a 19-9 UNDER mark in their last 28 meetings and Dallas has played six straight UNDERs vs. a winning team. Play this one UNDER the total.
