Dallas Mavericks at San Antonio Spurs Betting Preview

A pair of Southwest Division rivals are set to meet up on Wednesday night in the NBA as the San Antonio Spurs host the Dallas Mavericks. These teams have a nice little rivalry going in the state of Texas, and that should make for a fun atmosphere at the AT&T Center for this matchup.

Dallas comes into this game with a record of 4-3 on the year, but it hasn’t been the start that this team was looking for. The Mavericks just suffered a blowout loss to the Miami Heat on Tuesday night, and that will leave them fatigued for this game.

San Antonio is just 2-5 on the season, but this team was never expected to be a true playoff contender. The Spurs did just recently stun the Milwaukee Bucks, and they will be looking for another upset win in this one.

The Dallas Mavericks are slim 1.5-point betting favorites over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night.

Doncic Leading Dallas

The Dallas Mavericks have been on the verge of going on a deep run in the NBA Playoffs, but they have always seemed to fall short. This roster is very similar to what Dallas has had in previous years, but they haven’t been able to get off to a good start.

Luka Doncic continues to lead the way for the Mavericks as he is putting up 24 points and 7.1 assists per game. The Mavericks have surprisingly struggled to score points at times, and that has to change as the season gets going.

Three-point shooting continues to be a major key for Dallas, and they can be a tough team to beat when they are shooting it well.

Spurs Need to Get Stops

Gregg Popovich has a young team in San Antonio, and his team is still trying to figure some things out on the defensive end of the floor. San Antonio just gave up 131 points in their most recent game, and that has been a common theme in the losses this season.

Point guard Dejounte Murray is emerging into a star for the Spurs as he leads the team with 17.6 points and 8.4 assists per game. This game will be a chance for Murray to test out his skills against one of the best point guards in the league.

San Antonio is going to have some big nights this season, but they will also have times in which they struggle. Look for the Spurs to be locked in on Wednesday night against a great Dallas team.

Spurs Defeat Dallas in Divisional Clash

The Dallas Mavericks are clearly the better overall team in this matchup, but playing on back-to-back nights is never an easy task. Combine that with the fact that San Antonio is a big rival, and things are not going to go well for the road team in this game.

The Spurs have played well against some of the better teams on their schedule this season, and they will be ready to battle with Dallas in this game. San Antonio desperately needs a win, and beating the Mavericks could ultimately allow them to go on a nice run.

Bet the San Antonio Spurs moneyline as the home team picks up an impressive win over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night.
