10* NBA Playoffs Game of the Week
(NBA) Dallas vs. San Antonio,
Point Spread: 6.50 | -108.00 Dallas (Away)
Result: Loss
Dallas has been charged by Monta Ellis and his clutch shooting along with the hot shooting of Vince Carter. The Dallas Mavericks have no quit in them. While many thought they would be swept in this series, the players in that locker room knew they could give San Antonio a run for its money. That's precisely what they have done in forcing a Game 7. Now that they have come this far, I look for the Mavericks to put up one final fight in this Game 7. This has been one hell of a series with almost every game going right down to the wire and Dallas has more speed and quickness on the perimeter. So far 5 of the 6 games have been decided by six points or less. In fact, the Mavericks are a perfect 6-0 ATS in this series. All-Star Dirk Nowitzki has yet to have a big game for them as well and he can explode for 30 and Mavs head coach Rick Carlisle to have his team ready on defensive to get stops here in game 7. Dallas has Calderon, Vince Carter, Monte Ellis, Devon Harris, Shawn Marion and many other key players and big men who have stepped up their game in the playoffs. San Antonio is 0-8 ATS in its last eight games overall. I'm taking Dallas plus the points here in game 7 as the Mavs lay it all on the line and cover.
