In their 110-91 loss to Kevin Love and company, Gregg Popovich\u2019s team shot just 44% and committed 16 turnovers.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, San Antonio <span class=\"GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark\" id=\"08e2a770-6c2b-4ea4-8153-4899e79fd772\">has won<\/span> without Parker before. This season, the Frenchman has missed 13 games, with his team going 10-3 SU in his absence. In addition, the Spurs are the best road team in the NBA at 29-10.<\/p>\n<p>San Antonio hasn\u2019t had a difficult time dealing with Dallas as well. \u00a0The last three matchups vs. <span class=\"GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark\" id=\"fb1b40ef-3ed2-445e-80fc-7528485bca40\">the<\/span> Mavs, the Spurs <span class=\"GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark\" id=\"a15ea44e-a09b-4fe2-bdb5-2ec4e64cb1da\">have put<\/span> up 113.3 PPG thanks to 41% shooting from downtown. And don\u2019t expect that figure to drop since Rick Carlisle\u2019s team gives up about eight three-pointers a game \u2013 10<sup><span class=\"GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark\" id=\"0f097815-55d5-4a5d-ae50-6b256b8fa9d5\">th<\/span><\/sup> <span class=\"GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark\" id=\"15a70431-0115-4458-a084-b0b968655779\">worst<\/span> in the league.<\/p>\n<p>The Spurs are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games against Dallas.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Dirk+Nowitzki+Utah+Jazz+v+Dallas+Mavericks+ozjo2IDLWMWl.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20299\" alt=\"Dirk+Nowitzki+Utah+Jazz+v+Dallas+Mavericks+ozjo2IDLWMWl\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Dirk+Nowitzki+Utah+Jazz+v+Dallas+Mavericks+ozjo2IDLWMWl.jpg\" width=\"594\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Dirk+Nowitzki+Utah+Jazz+v+Dallas+Mavericks+ozjo2IDLWMWl.jpg 594w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Dirk+Nowitzki+Utah+Jazz+v+Dallas+Mavericks+ozjo2IDLWMWl-250x175.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 594px) 100vw, 594px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Betting on the Dallas Mavericks<\/h3>\n<p>The Dallas Mavericks return home after a perfect 4-0 road trip. Out of those games, Dirk Nowitzki and company held three opponents to below 100 points. Moreover, in April, Dallas is averaging 105.6 PPG and converting 11 threes per game on 41% shooting.<\/p>\n<p>However, against the Spurs, the Mavericks have gone only 5-14-1 ATS in their last 20 matchups. Furthermore, Dallas has lost eight straight against the defending Western Conference champions.<\/p>\n<p>In order to beat San Antonio, Nowitzki will have to provide more for his team. In recent matchups against the Spurs, the German has put up just 18.3 PPG and 5.7 RPG, not to mention going 16.7% from three-point range.<\/p>\n<p>The total has gone over in four of the last five meetings between both teams.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer&#8217;s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>The Spurs put up a lot of points against Dallas\u2019 defense this season and the Mavericks have been on fire lately. I would wager on the <span class=\"GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark\" id=\"00c8d84a-3dbf-46ab-acb3-5b661c4311a9\">over<\/span> of this game\u2019s totals.<\/p>\n<p>[sc:NBA490banner w<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"20298\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;2,323&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Tony Parker sidelined by a back injury, the San Antonio Spurs (60-18) couldn&#8217;t contain the Minnesota Timberwolves in their last matchup.
