T.M. Selection: Mavericks (10* TRADE-MARK).

Both teams enter on top form. Honestly, it wouldn't be too difficult to write a convincing argument for either of these team's to cover this contest. Kristaps Porzingis returned to the line-up for Dallas in its win at Charlotte last time out. The Bucks come in on a win skein as well, but I think that the scheduling favors Dallas, as Milwaukee plays at Brooklyn next, followed the defending champion Lakers after that. It's a classic look-ahead spot for the Bucks, who I think will take the foot off the gas in the second half. I'm grabbing the points!

T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY.
