The 3 wins by the Mavs in this series have been their first against the Spurs this season.

Monta Elllis was the high scorer for the Mavs in Game 6 with 29 points and Dirk Nowitzki chimed in for 22. Both of these players shot over 50% from the floor in the game and the Spurs need to keep these guys from hacing big games and if they do they will win this game.
Former Spurs’ player DeJUan Blair was suspended for Game 5, but in Game 6 came back to haunt his old team to the tune of 10 points and 14 boards. His energetic play and, especially, defense are key for the Mavs in this game.
The Spurs had a 5-point lead heading into the 4th quarter, but were outscored by 7 in the final period.
Tony Parker was the high scorer for the Spurs in Game 6, but failed to shoot 50% from the floor and he had 5 turnovers. The original Big 3 of Parker, Tim Duncan, and Manu Ginobili must lead the Spurs tonight. Duncan had a good Game 6, but only took 9 shots and Parker and the San Antonio guards may want to feed him the rock more.
San Antonio allowed the Mavs to score 50 points in the paint in Game 6.

Jason’s Pick:
The Mavs have covered the spread in every game in this series and I look for that trend to continue. However, the Spurs will win the game, but the Mavs will make it a close one and cover the spread.
