Analysis: Although there is nothing about the Dallas Mavericks that I like this season – and the Grizzlies spanked the Mavericks senseless in their 102-82 home win on Jan. 4 – I like the Mavs to pick up a solid victory and make themselves feel good for the time being or until they get unceremoniously bounced from the upcoming postseason.

Take the Mavs to cover the spread narrowly and the Under BetOnline NBA sports betting backers.
