Season series: Spurs lead 2-0 after road wins Oct. 22 (125-92) and Feb. 5 (135-123)
The Spurs are riding a 3-game winning streak, with their latest victory coming against the Mavericks Thursday. C Victor Wembanyama led the team with 29 points and 11 rebounds. San Antonio has covered the spread in its last 3 matchups against Dallas, dating back to last season.
The Mavericks are reeling, having lost their last 6 games in a row. They will have several new faces on the court tonight after making a blockbuster trade with the Washington Wizards, which sent F Anthony Davis out of Dallas. The Mavs are 23-28 against the spread (ATS) this season.

Spurs 120, Mavericks 105
BET SPURS (-425).
These 2 teams are heading in opposite directions, as the Spurs are pursuing a championship and the Mavs are rebuilding. It would be shocking if Dallas pulls an upset tonight, making it pretty safe to put down on the moneyline for San Antonio. However, I would make it a small wager since betting on the Spurs to cover the spread is more profitable.
BET SPURS -9.5 (-115).
Not only is there a huge talent gap between these 2 teams, but the Mavs may not be fully focused following the recent changes from the trade. The Spurs covering Saturday may be the safest bet throughout the entire league.
BET UNDER 230.5 (-115).
The Spurs will take care of business as usual offensively, but I’m not sure how much juice the Mavs will have tonight following the trade. If San Antonio takes a commanding lead early in the second half, which I imagine it will, Dallas could pack it in.
