NBA - 709 Minnesota Timberwolves @ 710 Dallas Mavericks
Projected Line: Dallas by 10 points
Minnesota has been struggling to be competitive due to their lack of depth and shooting ability from their guards. They have just shot 11-47 3pts on their last three games! With them playing their third game in four nights, I wouldn't be surprised if Dallas uses some zone defense tonight to make the Wolves shoot from the outside. Alexey Shved has been very poor on his shooting lately with just 29% FG on their last five games. In fact, Minnesota's defense has been a complete mess on their last five games: 68% FG allowed at the rim, 46.6% 3pts allowed, while regressing as well on pick and roll ball handler defense, spot up defense, cuts defense and transition defense! Dallas will then have a super edge on transitions with Darren Collison and O.J. Mayo, as they keep being a running team even with Dirk Nowitzki back in the lineup.
Dallas showed great ball movement against Memphis and they are indeed playing better on their last few games. They were prone in committing turnovers, but that's gone, as they have just committed 9, 11, 13, 13, 9 over the last five games. Minnesota is 2-0 against Dallas this season, but it's payback time for the Mavericks tonight, who should get a good blowout win and so, I'll be taking Dallas in here.
