**+$17,500 HOOPS RUN!** 10* NON-CONF ELITE OF ELITE (OFF 4-1 THURSDAY!)
(NBA) New York vs. Dallas, 04/16/2021 9:30 PM, Score: 117 - 109
Point Spread: -5.00 | -110.00 Dallas (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* NON-CONFERENCE ELITE OF THE ELITE on the Mavericks.

After seven straight covers and four straight straight-up victories in a row, I think New York takes a step back here.

With a five-game home stand against four-straight opponents under .500 (New Orleans, Charlotte, Atlanta and Toronto), this is also a natural let-down/look-ahead "trap" for the visitors here.

Dallas has lost three straight ATS, and had lost two straight SU before a tight 114-113 road win at Memphis in its latest action.

With Sacramento and Detroit coming to town next, this is a prime spot of the season for the Mavericks and I expect them to make the most of it.

Look for New York to throw in the white flag early and for the home side to pull away in the second half.

Lay the points, the play is DALLAS.

Good luck, NP
