Extra EMTs and defibrillators will be on hand for this series, a rematch of last season’s Round 1. The teams will feature 7 starting players over the age of 30. Pass the smelling salts.

All 5 starters for the Mavericks are getting on, including band leader Jason Kidd at 37. Kidd more than held his own against SA’s Tony Parker last season, but was drawn and quartered by Chauncey Billups and the Nuggets in the conference semifinals.

This series could produce death rattles emanating from Tim Duncan.

The Spurs gave the Big Fundamental lots of rest for his weary bones late in the season, but he’ll have to log heavy minutes if the Spurs hope to drive things to a 6th or 7th game. Problem is, starting with Games 2-3, there is only one day of rest between each game.

Keep an eye on how the Spurs offense performs with Tony Parker back at the point and the ball and not in the hands of Manu Ginobili as much as it was late in the regular season.

Also, San Antonio has played Dirk Nowitzki straight up in the past, but he could draw more double-teams in the playoffs, especially in games at Dallas.

Spurs vs Mavs Series Betting Odds:
Spurs +140
Mavericks -170

Spurs vs. Mavericks Prediction: Dallas in 6.

Curiously, regular-season games between these teams tend to go under and playoff games trend toward the over, which makes no sense.

Perhaps the best option is the money line play on the Mavericks.
