5* Spurs/Mavericks ESPN Blue Chip ATS Top Play: Mavericks +1.5

The Dallas Mavericks will be extremely motivated to get a win tonight against the Spurs, while I don't really think San Antonio cares a whole lot about this game. Tim Duncan is expected to miss this game and fellow starter Kawhi Leonard is listed as questionable. Manu Ginobili is back, but is on a minute restriction. Dallas has been on the rise for over two weeks and this is a game they desperately want. The Spurs put a 25-point beating on the Mavericks at Dallas on Dec. 30, which followed a 38-point loss at San Antonio on Dec. 23. With the Mavericks playing on a full-four days rest, I look for them to come out with a ton of energy and I wouldn't be surprised if they wont this game convincingly. BET THE MAVERICKS!
