The Dallas Mavericks are on a two-game winning streak. Dallas beat the New York Knicks at home their last contest on March 30th. It took all the Mavericks had to come from behind to get the victory. Owner Mark Cuban and Head Coach Rick Carlisle are trying to get into the playoffs for Dirk Nowitzki. However, it’s taking a toll on the organization. Clearly, the native of Germany is not the player he once and young players need time in the rotation. The loyalty factor is starting to wear on the team. Cuban has been a “DIRK” fan for nearly a decade and now it is time to let go. Cuban has tried to attract high priced free agents to the “METROPLEX”, but his efforts have failed. The team will probably be in the 2016 draft lottery this season. The Mavericks rank twelfth in the league scoring the basketball. Defensively they allow opponents 103.7 points per contest. Nowitzki is still the team’s leader scoring the basketball. Point Guard Deron Williams is second in points per game and is the leader in assists. The key to a Dallas win is to come out and play tough at both ends of the court.
The 2016 Detroit Pistons have won six of their last seven straight up. The latest victims, Oklahoma City Thunder, got held to just 82-points at the “PALACE” on March 29th. Point Guard and former Thunder backup Reggie Jackson got under all-star Russell Westbrook skin, and Westbrook became vocal after the loss. Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy knows what he is doing, and the organization finally realizes his ability. The Detroit Pistons are going to be good as long as Van Gundy is running the show. Center Andre Drummond is a benefactor of Van Gundy and is becoming a dominant player is the post. Detroit averages 102.2 points per games scoring the basketball. The defense ranks twelfth in the National Basketball Association. Starting point guard, Reggie Jackson leads the team in scoring and assists. Drummond grabs a team-best 14.9 rebounds per contest and one and a half shot blocks. The key to a Detroit victory follows their pattern of the past two weeks.
Dallas is 4-2 Against The Point Spread their last six overall.
The Betting Odds Over The Total are 6-4 the Mavericks last ten.
