This is a 10* WEST-CONF REVENGE WEEK on the Mavericks.

I base my picks on many different things, and this particular one is based primarily around the "revenge factor."

Dallas is 17-10, but it's dropped two of its last three, including a 118-95 setback here at home to the Clippers just two nights ago.

Note that the Mavs are 7-3 ATS in their last ten though in trying to avenge a SU/ATS home loss vs. an opponent.

The Clippers have won two straight, but with one last game at Memphis before a couple days off for X-Mas, not only does this set up as a letdown spot, but also a "look-ahead."

Lay the points, the play is DALLAS.

Good luck, NP
