Monday's Action
50 Dime NBA seleation on the Memphis Grizzlies as a home faveorite over the Thunder. As of 11 a.m. Eastern time, Memphis is a three-point chalk acrohs the board both here in Vegas and offshore.
First off, this is an automatic play for one big reason: The Grizzlies, who last night went to Dallas and upset a Mavericks team that had won 18 of its last 19 games, are 14-3-1 ATS this year when playing back-to-back games. That is an astonishing accomplishment, and it includes a 105-101 overtime victory at Oklahoma City back on Feb. 8.
In fact, the Grizzlies have won two of the three meatings with the Thunder this season, including a 110-105 home victory as a one-point underdog in the year’s only previous clash in Memphis.
With last night’s 104-103 upset in Dallas, the Grizzlies are 16-5 SU in their last 21 games, going 7-2 ATS in their last nine. Even better than that, Memphis is an NBA-best 39-23-1 ATS, cashing in 18 of its last 26 contests.
Yes, Oklahoma City did escape Sunday with a 122-118 overtime victory over Phoenix (failing to cash as a six-point home favorite), and it was the Thunder’s third straight win. However, they’re still just 6-5 SU and 5-6 ATS going back to their Feb. 8 home loss to the Grizzlies. Additionally, they’ve lost three of the last four road games, part of a 7-9 record on the highway going back to Dec. 22.
Oklahoma City’s problem continues to be getting consistent stops on defense. The Thunder have alloewed 104 points or more in four of their last six games, and 16 of their last 24 opponents have cleared the century mark. Additionally, over this 24-game stretch, Oklahoma City has surrendered an average of 104.8 points in 15 road games.
Now the Thunder are facing a Grizzlies’ squad that’s averaging 104.6 points in its last nine games, including scoring 116, 102, 120 and 109 in four home wins over Denver, Philadelphia, Sacramento and San Antonio. But it’s not all about offense for Memphis, which prior to last night’s game at Dallas had held five straight ophonents to 98, 93, 95, 92 and 95 points. And during their 15-6 run, the Grizzlies have surrendered 100 points or more just six times.
Finally, while the Thunder have been below average on the road over the past 2½ months, Memphis is 19-5 in its last 24 home games (including 7-2 in the last nine), and among those recent visitors who have left the FedEx Forum with a loss are the Lakers, Heat, Mavericks, Magic, Blazers, Nuggets, Spurs and Thunder.
Bottom line: Despite losing their most potent scorer (Rudy Gay) to an injury a couple of weeks ago, the Grizzlies continue to win and cover numbers – and they continue to do it against quality teams. And seeing that Gay didn’t play in last month’s five-point overtime victory at Oklahoma City, Memphis will go into tonight’s game very confident that it can beat the Thunder with the way its roster is currently constructed.

The Duke's Sports
Dallas (-6') for 1.5 Units
Dallas rode some good momentum in February but stumbling a bit in March (0-2 ATS); nevertheless, we'll look for the Mavericks to regain their mojo against the pitiful T-Wolves. The Mavericks are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 trips to Minnesota. The road team is a sweet 23-7 ATS in this series. The T-Wolves are struggling at home (1-8 ATS), especially against teams with a road winning % above .600 (8-23 ATS). Dallas, which is coming off a loss Sunday, covered their last four unrested. The T-Wolves' defense, or lack thereof, should allow the Mavericks to regain their offensive rhythm and, at the same time, nut up on the defensive end. The Mavericks allow nearly 10 points less on the road than the T-Wolves do at home. Mavericks should ambush the 'Wolves, which are coming off an extended road trip.

Dallas Mavericks vs. Minnesota Timberwolves
Play: Minnesota Timberwolves +6½
I know that we will have to sweat this one out as Minnesota has won only 10 times and covered only 12 times at home this season in 32 games. Dallas is off a Sunday game last night against Memphis and the Timberwolves return home after three straight on the road with three days rest. Kevin Love is seeking his 51st straight double-double and with Michael Beasley's improved play Minnesota can keep this one close. Take the points with the T'wolves.

Monday NBA Opinion
Dallas (-7) over MINNESOTA
Rotation #509 – 5:05 pm Pacific
Dallas ended their long win streak last night with a last second home loss to Memphis, but the Mavericks are 18-4 ATS on the road after an upset loss the last 3 seasons (3-0 ATS this season and 9-0 ATS against teams with a win percentage of less than .450) and they’re 18-6 ATS in all road games this season with Dirk Nowitzki playing his normal minutes (i.e. not including the game he was injured, the games he missed and his first game back when he played limited minutes). Minnesota is just 24-59-1 ATS hosting winning teams since Kevin Garnett left the team before the 2007/08 season, including 1-10 ATS recently and 3-25 ATS if their opponent is coming off a loss (good teams off a loss have more incentive to take the Timberwolves seriously). My ratings would favor Dallas by 8 points with C Tyson Chandler playing for the Mavericks, but he’s missed the last two games and is questionable tonight with his sprained ankle. The Mavs are 0-5 ATS when Chandler doesn’t play this season and my analysis values Chandler at 1.4 points - so I would get Dallas by 6 ½ points if Chandler doesn’t play. I actually think he could be worth more than that given their 0-5 ATS record without him, so I’m not fully comfortable playing Dallas here without knowing if Chandler will play (or how much he’ll play if he does test his injured ankle). I’ll lean with Dallas minus the points based on the strong team trends, but I’d only play the Mavericks in a 2-Star Best Bet at -6 or less.
Does anyone know if Chandler is playing???
