The Spurs' record shows 1-3. But it's a good 1-3 as San Antonio played tough against the Nuggets, Bucks and Lakers, a game it should have won but lost in overtime. Gregg Popovich was pleased with the effort and the performances, which is good enough for me. 

The Mavericks are in transition under new coach Jason Kidd, who I find to be an overrated coach yet he keeps getting hired. 

I much prefer the Mavericks as underdogs not favorites. Dallas is 4-10 ATS the last 14 times when playing a below .500 foe. 

The Spurs have been excellent money-makers when on the road going 15-6-1 ATS.
