    I'm thinking a low scoring affair.

    I like their chances at home tonight too. First game back after the 2 game suspension for Big Al, and I expect him to play well. I think they cover the 7 at home for sure, and have a good chance SU.

    Timberwolves & Warriors are always bad matchups for Mavs. T'Wolves have advantage here.

    Kidd out? Didn't see an injury report on him. Speaking of injuries: any word on Haywood for tonight yet?

    As for the game: I expected the Mavericks to be motivated to keep their streak going and they'll easily cover.

    Here's a curve ball for all the Wolves backers for tonight...



    The Mavs COVERED the last 5 games against the Wolves on the road:

    Dallas - 89, Wolves - 77 (DAL -10.5)
    Dallas - 108, Wolves - 88 (DAL -8)
    Dallas - 95, Wolves - 85 (DAL -6)
    Dallas - 99, Wolves - 83 (DAL -7.5)
    Dallas - 101, Wolves - 78 (DAL -8)

    ... and here's the strange twist. The Mavs are 0-5 ATS against the Wolves at home. Go figure...

    Its a fair stat, I just don't put much stock in trends from previous seasons. Dallas is a road warrior covering games this year though, and that to me is the bigger worry for Wolves backers.

    This is a DD win for Dallas. Do well to check the score for this game at HT.

    This is one game that's so easy to cap. Mavs don't cover at home against Wolves, but always do so on the road! Period. Thanks for the stats.

    What does that have to do with this year and, more specifically, this night? You like these stats from previous years, but you don't like the ones that say MIN has beaten Utah twice, Dallas (while easily covering twice) and Denver already this season?

    I won't say anything again about this game. We'll know the result at the end of the game.

    mavs should easily be -8.5, -10.....this line doesnt make any sense to me unless its a trap to try to get people on dallas for a letdown.

    One stat nobody has mentioned is that going into the 4th Q of that Dallas game Minny had shot 23 FT's to Dallas' 7, which Nowitzki shot 6 and Terry 1. The Mavs got some FT's in the closing minutes when Shitesota had to foul. No Kidd for the Mavs that game and how about the recent play of Beabouis? He is filling in big for Terry. I think if Haywood plays Mavs easily cover if he doesnt Minny will get a lot of looks inside, it all comes down to Haywood's status cause Najera cant hold the paint for 48 min and Nowitzki struggles everytime he has to play the 5 spot. Plus Dallas just beat a much better defensive team in Chicago the other night by 7 and the Wolves got NO DEFENSE.

    thats what im saying - they always win there and the line opens lower than the last 2 times there and dallas is as hot as can be. the line might be a bit lower cause of dallas injuries but i dont know- dallas is too easy here.

    No coincidences, you have up to the end of the 1Q of this game to accept this deal. Just post a reply here and consider the wager made. Cheers

    if you're not a believer in going back historically for trends (which is fine, many cappers dont) then you can look just at the current season.

    11/13/09

    dallas @ minny (89-77)

    i like to look at the last 5 games played at the arena the game is at. as long as the core group of players hasnt changed dramatically, its a nice angle to use. history has a way of repeating itself.

    Not at home. Dallas are more vulnerable at home than on the road. They're on top of their game tonight. They'll cover the spread easily.
