On the season the Mavs are 30-30-2 ATS and they have an O/U record of 25-36-1 and the Blazers are 30-28-1 ATS and they have an O/U record of 26-32-1.
[dfads params=’groups=63742&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
This season the Blazers are 25-6 at home and the Mavs are 19-12 on the road.
In their last games the Mavs beat the New Orleans Pelicans 102-93 and the Blazers beat the L.A. Clippers 98-93 in OT.
The Blazers are hot winners of 4 straight and their offense has been en fugeo averaging 108.5 ppg in the streak. They are a 3.5-point home betting favorite tonight, but they lost in OT in their mast game facing the Mavs, which was in Dallas.
The Blazers are 7-3 in their last 10 games and the Mavs are 6-4 in their last 10.
[dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
The Mavs are coming off a solid win over the Pelicans and they may be back at full strength tonight with Tyson Chandler and Chandler Parsons possibly coming back. Parsons has missed the last 5 games and Chandler has missed the last 3.Parsons is the 3rd leading scorer for the Mavs and Chandler is the defensive stopper and leads the team in rebounds per game.
The Mavs have won 5 of their last7 games facing the Blazers.
The Blazers are a balanced team, to say the least, as they rank 9th in the league in both points per game and opponents points allowed per game.
Stopping the Blazers is mainly about stopping their 2 All Stars in LeMarcus Aldridge, who is averaging 28 ppg and 13.3 rpg in his last 3 games, and Damian Lillard. In the loss in Dallas in the last game between these 2 teams this duo combined for 51 points, but Lillard was only 7/19 from the floor.
The Mavs will have to generate offense to win this game, as they cannot rely on their D, which only ranks 20th in the league in opponents’ points allowed.

Rajon Rondo is coming off a 19-point game and if he scores the Mavs, who rank 4th in the league in scoring, are tough to beat.
