They are also a decent cover team on the road, and they\u2019re also good ATS on the road against good teams that play well at home. <\/p>\n<p>Motivation is everything in the final dozen games of the season, and Dallas is still in the mix for the second-best home record in the West. The Blazers and Mavs are both solid Over teams, but this one will be more like a playoff game, and playoff games tend to slow down. <\/p>\n<p>In the opener, keep an eye on Michael Beasley, who claims that criticism from TNT commentator Charles Barkley a while back threw off his game. Beasley never seems to have his head on right, and he might press tonight. <\/p>\n<p>For a possible parlay, consider Bulls -1.5 in the opener and the under (192) in the second game.<\/p>\n<h4>Get Your Free $10 Bet Today at Sportsbook.com<\/h4>\n<p>Visit the Bet Menu at half-time to place your bet.
