NBA Wagering - Portland
Trailblazers at Dallas Mavericks
BetUS: The
young Portland Trail Blazers, (28-23 SU, 27-24
ATS, 20-30-1 O/U) have had an absolutely fine
season that has been a huge surprise so far,
but they are in the mist of their roughest
stretch all season, dropping seven of their
last ten games, including a 95-83 loss to the
Houston Rockets on Monday.
The Dallas Mavericks, (34-17 SU, 20-28-3
ATS, 24-27 O/U) may have a very solid straight
up record this season, but the Mavericks
have struggled with inconsistency themselves
this season.
The Mavericks have dropped two straight
and four of six, including a dismal 84-76
loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday
night after falling to the mediocre New Jersey
Nets just one night earlier.
"We have a high standard of excellence
that we want to play to," said Mavs
coach Avery Johnson. "We are clear on
our systems and we have to try to make the
necessary adjustments. Mentally and physically,
we just haven't been able to sustain throughout
the whole game and that's what we need to
do."
"We just aren't handling adversity
very well right now, but these men are fighters," Johnson
told the Mavericks' official Web site.
Portland is
just 6-10 since winning 17 of 18 from Dec.
3 –Jan. 9 while reigning
MVP Dirk Nowitzki is a combined 8-for-31
from the field in the Mavs' last two defeats.
Here is a
look at several of tonight’s
key trends, followed by my NBA Betting Picks.
The Trail Blazers are 5-2 ATS in their last
seven games vs. a team with a winning S.U.
record.
The Trail Blazers are 5-11 ATS in their
last 16 road games vs. a team with a home
winning percentage of greater than .600.
The Mavericks are 7-19-1 ATS in their last
27 home games vs. a team with a losing road
record.
The Mavericks are 7-19-1 ATS in their last
27 home games vs. a team with a road winning
percentage of less than .400.
The Under is 11-1 in Trail Blazers last
12 vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
The Over is 5-1 in Mavericks last six vs.
a team with a winning S.U. record.
The Under is 4-0 in the last four meetings.
The Under is 7-0 in the last seven meetings
in Dallas.
Analysis: Both
of these teams could use a victory in the
worst way. The Mavericks should be able
to handle the struggling Trailblazers in
this contest, but I like a hungry Portland
team to cover the spread in this matchup – and
possibly win outright.
