Stephen Nover's NBA Thursday Spread Crusher
(NBA) San Antonio vs. Dallas,
Point Spread: 13.50 | -102.00 San Antonio (Away)
Result: Loss
The Mavericks are an auto-fade when laying these kinds of points. Dallas is a mind-boggling 4-20-1 ATS (17 percent) when favored by more than five points this season.

San Antonio nearly upset Dallas in the first meeting. The Spurs lost, 126-125, at home on Dec. 31.

The Spurs are on their rodeo trip, but will be rested following the week-long All-Star break. Gregg Popovich should have his team well prepared for this in-state, division rivalry matchup.

This will be just the third time Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic will be playing together. So the Mavericks aren't fully in sync yet with their new lineup.
