Schule's NBA TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE - **PERFECT 9-0 L9 NBA**
(NBA) Dallas vs. Minnesota, 04/03/2016 11:30 AM, Score: 88 - 78
Total: 207.50 | -107.00 Over
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on DAL@MIN to go UNDER the total.

The Mavs have won three straight, putting them back in the hunt for one of the final playoff spots in the West. The recipe for their success has been strong defensive play, as they've allowed opponents to average just 88.7 points per game during this winning streak. I think the bookmakers have failed to take this into consideration when they come out with such a high total. Teams battling for survival tend to play a lot tougher defense, and both these teams have been playing low scoring games of late.

Minnesota has lost three of four, and they were held to an average of just 82.6 points in those losses. These teams have failed to reach the total in four of the last five head to head meetings, and four of the last five at Minnesota have gone under. With so much at stake for the Mavs, expect to see a battle for each possesion, with no easy buckets conceded. Dallas has been great on the road against inferior opposition, and the under is 9-3 in their last 12 road games versus teams with a losing record.

Take UNDER.
