6* NBA on TNT *CA$H COW* on Spurs -8
The Key: The Spurs, who are already without Tony Parker, were humiliated at Minnesota Tuesday, but Tim Duncan and Kawhi Leonard didn't play and they were in a letdown spot following a big win over the Thunder the previous night. With Duncan and Leonard back, and motivated to wash the sour taste of their most recent defeat out of their mouth, expect the Spurs to bounce-back strong this evening. San Antonio is a dominant 15-3 ATS in home games off a road blowout loss of 20 points or more since 1996. It has won by an average score of 103.1 to 89.8 points in these spots. The Spurs have won four straight over Dallas by an average of 21.5 points. They won the most recent meeting in Dallas by just 6 points, but Duncan didn't play in that game and Manu Ginobli logged only 8 minutes. While revenge can be a solid angle, this is not the time to play that card. That's because plays against teams that are out for revenge for 2 consecutive losses to an opponent that scored at least 100 points in each, provided that opponent checks in off a road loss of 20 points or more, are 36-13 ATS the last 5 seasons. Lay the points.
