San Antonio Spurs at Dallas Mavericks Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
For the Spurs, they do not have much to play for at this point with the NBA Playoffs around the corner and the fact they cannot go any higher than their #2 seed nor can they fall from this position in the Western Conference standings. The Spurs enter off a loss against the Lakers on Wednesday where the Spurs called the dogs off early and rested most of their personnel in preparation for the post-season. For the Mavericks, they are likely in tank mode themselves and they have been long removed from the playoff picture. Dallas enters off a two-game losing streak where they most recently fell at the Los Angeles Clippers 112-101 on Wednesday.

San Antonio Spurs at Dallas Mavericks Prediction

We can throw out the metrics and any statistics be that this is a game of little consequence for either side. San Antonio is the best three-point shooting team in the league and Dallas has the worst scoring offense in the league but again this is likely irrelevant given the nature of this fixture as a dress rehearsal. The market has assessed this contest in what may actually be quite accurate despite the fact Dallas is clearly an inferior basketball team on paper. San Antonio will assuredly be treating this contest as a bye given the fact they have just three games to play in the regular season after this one and they assuredly have bigger fish to fry. Dallas has been a formidable team on their own court this year and despite their overall ghastly record, they have been over .500 at the American Airlines Arena. Dallas will also likely treat this game as a scrimmage but given the fact the contest is at home and against an arch rival, they may try to win this one for their fans or at least make it interesting to entertain them. Dallas offers tremendous value in this contest even if they are likely more concerned about the NBA Draft Lottery at this point.
