*Dallas Mavericks (-3.5, 214) at Cleveland Cavaliers
It’s the second leg of a back-to-back for Dallas, but it should not be a tough turnaround for the team that blew out Los Angeles last night. Luka Doncic only played 30 minutes and sat the entire fourth quarter with the Mavericks up 29 entering the final period. The Mavericks still have the third seed in their sights as well, so I would expect a fully focused effort tonight against the Cavaliers. Cleveland snapped its three-game slide against Orlando on Monday, but the team is on an 0-5 ATS slide and since losing Jarrett Allen they are 2-7-1 ATS. Over the course of those 10 games opponents have averaged 115.4 points per 100 possessions and the Cavaliers have a -3.8 net rating. Making matters worse is the absence of Evan Mobley, who had been starting at center in the absence of Allen. The betting market is doing its usual thing of playing against the team on a back-to-back and pushing this number down to -3 but for me the Mavericks are the side here.
Play: Mavericks (-3)
