10* on DALLAS

With both Memphis & Philadelphia covering yesterday, that leaves Dallas as the only winless ATS team (0-4) left in the bubble. The Mavs have won just the one time (114-110 against Sacramento) and it took overtime. They’ve been in all four games, two of which were two-point losses that saw them blow double digit leads in the second half. Thursday’s 126-111 loss to the Clippers again featured a late-game meltdown. Facing Milwaukee might not seem like the logical time for the Mavericks to turn it around, but we think they will Saturday night. The Bucks certainly proved they aren’t invincible with the 119-116 loss to Brooklyn earlier this week, a game they were favored to win by 19 points. It was the largest upset the NBA has seen, at least when it comes to the pointspread, in the last 27 years. The Bucks shook that loss off by beating Miami 130-116 Thursday, but they’ve now given up 73 first half points in two straight games. They also trailed the Heat with less than five minutes to go in the game. By the metrics, Dallas is one of three teams with a more efficient offense than Milwaukee. The Bucks have a losing ATS record against Western Conference teams this season. Play on DALLAS
