The Dallas Mavericks (2-4) and the San Antonio Spurs (3-2) meet up in an 8:30 PM ET game on Thursday, and it will be very interesting to see if these aging teams can find a way to snap out of some early slumps that have seen both play well below expectations.
Although the Mavericks don’t have to travel very far to take on their in-state rival, it is worth noting that Dallas is 0-2 on the road this year while the Spurs are a perfect 3-0 in San Antonio.
The Spurs are 3.5-point favorites for this one, while the total sits at 193.
San Antonio has won outright in 4 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings with the Mavericks, and they’ve covered the point spread in every single victory.
That being said, the road team in this rivalry has won outright in 3 of the last 4, including a 103-94 win for the Mavericks in San Antonio in 2010 that saw them listed as similar 4.5-point underdogs.
7 of the last 9 games played between these teams have gone under the total, including the 2 most recent games.

Dallas has won 2 of their last 3 to help stop the bleeding incurred after a disastrous start, but the defending champions just don’t look to be running on all cylinders.
They’ve gone under the total in their last 3 games and have covered the point spread in every single outright victory this year.
The Spurs have also been dealing with a slow start and have also covered the spread in every single game they’ve won outright this season.
San Antonio has rebounded to win 3 of their last 5 games and have gone under the total in 3 of those contests.
