Mavs +6 and a hookah. The Mavs are no doubt tired but, folks, they NEED this game tonight, real bad. They will bring sreious intensity and treat this almost like a playoff elimination game as they've dropped two close ones to championship caliber teams in San An and LA. I'm taking the points and hitting it hard. I know Utah is a tough place to play at and that the Mavs must be tired but I believe Dallas' desire to win this game, and validate themselves, will outweigh their exhaustion.

I'm with you Buzzy,

First of all Sunday's game was a day game...so back to back not that big a deal here. Getting +6.5 is a lot...almost the same as the Laker line and Utah is not as good as the Lakers...this line is giving respect to Utah's home record...Dallas actually has a better record by a game overall. These teams know each other..only new player is Kidd...so advantage Dallas on this. I see Dallas hanging with Utah much like they did with the Lakers.

I am getting on the Mavericks as well. Also taking the over 200.

Good luck!

[buztah]

Big Play on the spread and small play on the ML. Go MAVS!

[mundane]

music to my ear! go mavs!

altho i got the under 201. i think they're both gonna run their plays, setting up and anteing up on defense. i think the game will have a feel of a playoff game.

goodluck all!

[buztah]

Might double up. Jim Rome, the universal jinx, just dis'd the Mavs and basically stated he thinks they are done for the year.

[mundane]

that guy is a joke! i catch him on tv from time to time and wtf is up with the way he talks?!? effing hilarious! LMAO!

[LT Profits]

Scariest part about this game though is that Utah has the biggest home court advantage in the NBA. They are winning their home games by +12.25 points per game while losing their road games by -0.38, and that +12.63 Home Variance is the biggest in the league.

[buztah]

LT, I know, pal. That's why it takes big nads to bet the Mavs here. You know that I carry mine around in a wheelbarrow though, donchya?!

[mundane]

oh u carry it urself?? i thot u had midgets carrying em around?!?! LMAO!

[buztah]

oh u carry it urself?? i thot u had midgets carrying em around?!?! LMAO!

Their backs gave out under the sheer awesome weight. I have built up quite a nasty set of forearms and a killer grip carrying them myself.

[mundane]

ROFLMAO! too funny! i hope we both win some big bucks tonight coz when i grow up (have money and have surgery), i wanna be just like u - big ballz and all!

If it wasn't for Kobe turning non human the Mavs would have won...Rome is a dumbass sometimes...

[buztah]

mundy, pal, the greek just pulled the Mavs/Jazz game. Most curious to see where the line is at when they put it back up. Hmmm........

[buztah]

Pete, I just don't think the Jazz can offer the challenge that Kobe and Gasol offered yesterday and I think Dallas needs this much more than Utah. That's my angle.

[WestsidePete]

exactly...and this is a lot of points for 2 teams that know each other well...it's not like the Mavs are in a tail spin like the Suns are.....

[mundane]

hmmmm. injury?? d williams, kirilenko, & okur not playing??? YEAHHHHH!!! LOL! hopefully not one from the mavs.

sorry guyz, im just having too much fun here. i must still be reeling from that awesome comeback by kings last night. I was at the game.

[buztah]

mundane, back up now at -6........

[WestsidePete]

wow...the total on jazz/mavs has gone from 204 to 200.5

[buztah]

Pete, looks like the steam is expecting some tough D. Now who is known for their D?

[WestsidePete]

I'm liking this...

[mundane]

well im guessing, not so much coz of D but set plays shld lessen the point production - playoff atmosphere per se.

[sir.civic]

i definitely didnt see D yesterday from the mavs and lakers, basically their best D was offense on both sides....odom and nowitzki r the only defensive player that i saw yesterday they both had blocks on each other..still looking for the over on this game

[buztah]

I think we see Dallas D tonight and a Mavs win to the tune of 97 to 89.

[buztah]

Ruh roh, Shaggy! Greek dropped the ML value on Dallas now as well.

[mundane]

oh mann, i don't bet ML as im still a newb and dunno how things really work (i started betting after the all star break) but if u compare the dallas straight bet to dallas ML, which one would have paid bigger? isn't it the ML?

[buztah]

ML currently at +220 (was at +230). If you put 100 on the Dallas ML here and Dallas outright wins the game you would win $220 -- risk 100 to win 220.

[WestsidePete]

we will see a lot more close games between western conf playoff teams the rest of the year...every game is worth two in head to head match ups...Dallas at 39-21 currently 7th...totally crazy to be fighting for their playoff lives with that record....

[mundane]

i see. 'learned something new again. thanks! ima google to learn more.

[Deke101]

Jazz -6 and Over 200. Mavs are tired, Jazz are well rested coming off a DD win over Memphis. Nobody has mentioned that the Jazz need this game???? Despite leading their division, they are 4 games back in the West. Jazz win 109-99.

[sir.civic]

ok the mavs are not tired, they have enough rest... they play in the afternoon yesterday n now they r only playing at night seems enuf rest to me, but yeah we'll see wats the outcome 50/50 on the side n 50/50 on d under/over some1 will get it right eventually and hopefully im one of them hehe
