San Antonio Spurs (55-30) at Dallas Mavericks (52-33)
Look for the Dallas Mavericks to continue playing excellent defense. Dallas will have home advantage tonight in Game 4 and if Dirk Nowitzky and Josh Howard perform as they did in Game 3, the Spurs will be in for an unpleasant night. The Spurs are just 1-4 ATS in their last five games and the home team in this series is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

Dallas Mavericks -4½
