YTD 20-17-0 +15.72
Taking: Memphis Grizzlies +5 (21 to win 20)
The Mavs haven't played in a game since Valentine's Day. "Game Legs" are likely to be an issue. For those not familiar with the term, you can be in shape, be a good basketball player, etc, but "Game Legs" are only produced and maintained by playing in games. Win, lose or draw Monday's tilt, the Mavs have zero business laying 5 points to anybody in the league right now, especially in a potential look ahead game against the Celtics. Furthermore, Dallas oftentimes allows 50% shooting from the field, is a poor home team (3-11 ATS!) and would have gone 2-10-1 ATS over their last 13 games with a point spread of -5. Memphis can be helter skelter at times, but there's some nice value here tonight.
