Today's NBA Basketball Picks:

Game: San Antonio at Dallas (8:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 5 units on Dallas -2.5 (-110) (risk 5 to win 4.6)

The San Antonio Spurs will once again be without Manu Ginobli, and sooner or later that catches up to you. They will be facing a Dallas team out to erase a bitter memory of a 17-point loss to the Spurs on the road just over a week ago. Many forget that this Dallas team started with a 2-7 mark out of the gate. They were left for dead but have since been good, going 34-17. Part of that bad 2-7 start was 0-4 at home where the Mavs have now been 22-4 in their last 26 home tilts. The Spurs have not fared well in this range as they are 9-19 ATS in their last 28 as a pick up to +4.5. The Mavs consistency has led them to a 5-0 ATS mark after an ATS loss, and they have now gone 5-1 ATS in their last six as a home favorite. I like the Mavs for the win and cover here.

The Washington Wizards have been plain awful on the road this season. They have just four road wins all season, and two of them were over New Jersey as it seems they have the Nets’ number. Oklahoma City could have packed it up after a 3-29 start, but to their credit they stayed together as a unit and have progressed into a decent team. They have managed to go 12-16 since, but more importantly they have become a superb team at home, having posted a 7-4 mark here in their last 11 games. What stands out about this team is the fact they have not lost a game at home to a team with a losing record since December 16 - that is two and a half months! I like them in this one on the moneyline.
