Tuesday night NBA and we will see the San Antonio Spurs travel to American Airlines Center to take on the Dallas Mavericks. The game has a start time of 8:00 pm (Eastern) and will be televised on TNT. Current Vegas betting odds have the Spurs listed as 3.5 point favorites, while the total is set at 206.5. 

Analysis:  The San Antonio Spurs come in hot as they have won 10 of their last 12 games, which includes a very impressive 19 point road win over Atlanta on Sunday. The Spurs are now 44-25 on the year and if the playoffs started today they would have a 6th seed, but they are only 2 games behind Houston for the third seed in the West. San Antonio has gone 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record, but the favorite is just 1-10 ATS the last 11 in the series. The Spurs have been a decent offensive team this year, ranking 11th in scoring (102.5 ppg), 5th in shooting, 6th in 3 point shooting and 6th in FT shooting. Defensively the Spurs have been solid, ranking 9th in points allowed (97.8 ppg), 12th in defensive FG% and 27th in 3 point defense. 

The Dallas Mavericks are not playing good ball at the moment as they come in having won just 5 of their last 12 games overall. For the year Dallas is 44-27 overall, including 24-12 at home and if the playoffs started today they would be a 7 seed in the West. Dallas has gone just 8-24-2 ATS in their last 34 vs. the Western Conference and 8-21 ATS in their last 29 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record. The Mavericks have been a very good offensive team this year, ranking 3rd in scoring (104.6 ppg), 6th in shooting, 11th in 3 point shooting and 17th in FT shooting. Defensively the Mavericks have not been so good this year, ranking 21st in points allowed (101.1 ppg), 17th in defensive FG% and 26th in 3 point defense. 

Pick: Going with te Spurs in this one as they are starting to get into a groove, while the Mavericks are not. In their last game they took out the best team in the East on the road by 19 points and Dallas is just a mediocre team in the West that is really struggling right now. they haven't been good on offense, while their defense has been getting lit up of late. I just can't see the Mavs hanging with a more focused Spurs team that is playing better at both ends of the floor than Dallas is.
