Portland at Dallas 8:30 ET
Mavericks (+) over Trailblazers- The Mavericks have yet to win a game on Dirk Nowitzki's farewell tour and new accusations Harrison Barnes and Andrew Bogut haven't helped much. Nowitzki is back from a two-game absence due to Achilles tendon issue. The Mavericks have won four of the last six meetings and the entire squad is chomping to post their first win of the season. Portland has dropped their last two as they blew a seven-point lead late in the fourth quarter at Phoenix on Wednesday. I expect Dallas to come up big here. Take the MAVERICKS!
