Mavericks Own Series With Wizards
Just how up and down have the Washington Wizards been this season? Considering they recently beat the powerhouse Cleveland Cavaliers and lost to the lowly Los Angeles Lakers, it's safe to say consistency hasn't been their strong suit this year. John Wall and company will be looking to right the ship Sunday when they welcome Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks to town.
The Wiz (8-9 SU & ATS) haven't been nearly as solid as the Mavs (11-9 SU, 12-8 ATS) at the betting window and should be approached with caution going forward by bettors. Dallas's defense has let them down lately, however, surrendering an average of 105.4 points in their last five losses.
The Mavericks have dominated this series in recent years, claiming each of their last 10 meetings with the Wizards.
