Today's Pick: DALLAS MAVERICKS
NBA
Lakers vs. Dallas
8:35 EST
At -3.2 per game, the Lakers are dead last in turnover margin in the NBA. This is significant because Dallas is 6-0 ATS this year against poor defensive teams or those that force 14 or less turnovers per game. The Mavericks have won those six games by an average of 101-87. Meanwhile Dallas is terrorizing teams at home winning their last three tilts by 19, 19, and 22 points. They’ve won the last two meetings in this series by 19 and 17 points. The Lakers have played 17 games at home but only 12 on the road (5-7 SU). This is a tough spot having played last night in San Antonio and getting crushed 100-83, a game in which they hit just 28 percent from the floor in the first half. LA is 1-4 ATS in their last five road games. Jerry Stackhouse upgraded to probable despite a hand injury suffered on Sunday. Dallas is 11-0 with Dirk Nowitzki scoring 30 or more this year and you know he’ll be pumped to take on Kobe tonight. Josh Howard has been doing most of the dirty work inside for Dallas and comes off a 25-point and 13-rebound game against the Bucks. Take the Dallas Mavericks -10.
