Over\/Under: 192<\/strong><\/p>\nDallas (51-27, 32-44-2 ATS) beat Memphis 110-84 on Wednesday evening to erase a two-game losing streak. The Mavericks have been a little shaky recently after winning just five of their past 10 games. Their results have been just as troubling at the sportsbook; the Mavs are 4-5-1 in their past 10 outings on NBA odds, though they have covered four of their past six against the spread.<\/p>\n
Dallas has been an impressive road team over the past few weeks, racking up a 7-10 record against the spread when playing away from home.<\/p>\n
The Mavericks could use improved play from Caron Butler, whom they acquired in a trade with Washington earlier this season. Butler is averaging just 11.0 points over his last five games (down from a season average of 16.2 PPG) and he managed just 11 total points in the recent two-game losing streak. He at least bounced back against the Grizzlies this week, scoring 23 points on 10-17 shooting.<\/p>\n
Butler has had some success in two games against Portland this season; he averaged 21.5 points and nine rebounds in those match ups.<\/p>\n
Portland (48-30, 43-33-2 ATS) has earned back-to-back victories after beating the Los Angeles Clippers 93-85 earlier this week. Portland has played quite well since March began, going 13-3 since then. The Trailblazers have been pretty reliable for sports betting fans, too. They are 6-3-1 in their past 10 outings against the spread, though they\u2019ve lost two of three. ![\"Online](\"http:\/\/affiliates.commissionaccount.com\/processing\/impressions.asp?btag=a_3953b_41\")
<\/p>\n
The Blazers aren\u2019t especially reliable at home\u2014they\u2019ve covered just half of their last 10 games at the Rose Garden.<\/p>\n
The Blazer offense has been rather quiet over the past three games, averaging just 94.3 points. The team managed to win two of those, though, so at least the \u201cD\u201d is getting the job done. LaMarcus Aldridge has been huge during the team\u2019s two-game winning streak. The big forward dropped 24 points and 10.5 rebounds per game in those starts.<\/p>\n
Aldridge has been solid against Dallas this year (20.0 PPG, 8.7 RPG in three games).
\nThough the Mavs and Blazers have split their last 10 meetings with each other, Portland has won and covered three consecutive games against the Mavericks.<\/p>\n
Portland also owns a 6-4 edge against the spread in the past 10 meetings.<\/p>\n
Mavs vs Blazers Free NBA Pick:<\/strong><\/p>\nButler is out of his funk, which will help the Mavs, but Portland has their number right now. Playing at home should be enough of an edge. Go with the Trailblazers.<\/p>\n
