MAVERICKS: Dallas has really hit their stride, and it all culminated in Game 1 in Los Angeles. The Mavericks played one of their grittiest games in some time, coming back from a double digit deficit to win on the road SU. Winning Game 1 was vital for the Mavericks mentally, as it shows them they can beat the Lakers in the playoffs. Dallas has yet to lose ATS in the postseason this year, as they are 7-0 ATS. The Mavericks are 30-15 SU and 29-16 ATS in road games this season. Dallas is 2-1 ATS as a road underdog between 6.5 and 9 points this season.

The Lakers blew a 16 point lead, ultimately losing to Dallas 94-96 SU in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semi-Finals. Los Angeles now faces a near must win scenario, as they simply can't afford to go down 0-2 heading back to Dallas. The Lakers only scored 94 points in Game 1, the fewest they've scored against the Mavericks in their 4 meetings this season. Despite the Game 1 loss, the Lakers are a larger favorite tonight than during Game 1, and also the largest favorite they've been in any of the meetings this season. Los Angeles is 32-13 SU and 16-29 ATS in home games overall this season. The Lakers are 7-9 ATS as a home favorite between 6.5 and 9 points this year.
