Dallas
The Mavericks put an end to their modest 2 game losing streak with a huge defensive stand against the Bulls on Friday night.

Free NBA Prediction:
Dallas will certainly be in a bit of a letdown spot here.
After falling to Cleveland in overtime at home, they’ve played tough games against the Thunder and Bulls. Now, before they head back home for this one they get a chance at San Antonio on Sunday. With this being the 2nd leg of a back-to-back, combined with them being incredibly invested in ending the Spurs home winning streak, this has the making of a very sluggish Mavs performance.
