The Dallas Mavericks invade the AT&T Center to do battle with the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night.

The Mavericks are shorthanded again as Luka Doncic is still out while Kyrie Irving and Christian Wood are both questionable for this one. The Spurs are a major injury cloud hanging over the roster again as Romeo Langford, Tre Jones and Keldon Johnson are all day to day.

The Dallas Mavericks have been in a slump as they’ve lost nine of their last 12 games overall and they will be hoping to snap a three-game slide after getting thrashed by the Grizzlies in a 104-88 loss on Monday. The Mavericks could really do with a win to get their season back on track, but they could be severely depleted again.

Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs have been in decent shape as they’ve won four of their last seven games overall and they will be eager to stay hot after routing the Magic in a 132-114 home win last night. With Irving possibly coming back for this game and San Antonio sporting a 17-50 overall record, Dallas (-220) is justifiably a heavy favorite. However, you shouldn’t risk more than 2 times your potential return, so the moneyline is not worth a play in this one.
