Phoenix at Dallas
Play: Dallas -3.5

A Mavs’ win here will but the final nail in the coffin of the Suns’ playoff’s hopes. This is what we expect to happen -- and we’re getting great line value.The Suns are off a huge win over the Kings and they have now won two straight. They were led by Steve Nash’s 29 points on 12-of-19 shooing. However, they are 0-5 ATS (-13.0 ppg) THIS season with at least one day of rest off a win in which they never trailed and 0-5 ATS (-14.0 ppg) on the road after a win in which Steve Nash was the Suns' high scorer -- losing every game straight up.In their last game, Dallas lost 107-102 in Memphis, a victim of the Grizzlies’ 8-of-14 (57.1%) three-point shooting. Dirk Nowitzki was 14-of-26 for 35 points, but he was 0-fer from the arc. Dallas responds famously from a loss in which their opponent shot well from the arc. the Mavs are 21-2-1 ATS of a loss in which their opponent attempted more than ten threes and made at least half of them. Over the last ten, they are a perfect 10-0 ATS, including 6-0 ATS this season. Nice.With the Mavericks a perfect 8-0 ATS (+8.2 ppg) at home when Dirk Nowitzki scored at least 30 points the last two, we’ll take the better home team.
