30 DIMER - DALLAS MAVERICKS.....10 DIMER - OAKLAND A'S (Eveland over Adenhart)
30 DIMER - DALLAS MAVERICKS
G-Man coming strong with the home team tonight, as I loved what I saw on Sunday from Dallas, as the Mavericks crushed their nearest challenger for 8th spot in the West, the Suns, scoring 140-points in the win! Dallas has now won 3 of their last 4, and they are within a game of catching Utah for the 7th playoff spot in the West.
Utah is just 1-3 straight up their last 4, and 1-6 against the spread their last 7. Of course the Jazz and Mavs are battling to avoid dealing with the Lakers in the first round of the postseason, but playing on the road in this series has not been a good thing.
The home team in this series has won 7 in a row, covering in 6 of the 7. Dallas is just 3-8 against the spread their last 11 at Dallas, and overall, the host is 20-6-1 against the spread!
All Mavs tonight!
10 DIMER - OAKLAND A'S (Eveland over Adenhart)
Oakland got the bats cranking last night after being held to just 3-hits on opening night, the A's erupted in their 6-4 win by banging out 16-hits over 9 innings!
I like the hit barrage to continue tonight, as the Angels turn to the rookie Nick Adenhart to cool off the bats. Adenhart was up for a cup of coffee with the big club last season, and did go 1-0 over 3 starts, but had and ERA of 9, and he did get lit by Oakland to a tune of 5 runs in just over 2 innings of work.
Dana Eveland will counter, and while his numbers against the Angels are not outstanding, his team has played dead even at 11-11 the last 2-plus years at the Big "A".
At a near pick, side with the Athletics.

G-Man on an 11-3 comp play run the last 2 weeks for free!
Take the points in the NBA tonight with Memphis as they head to Orlando to take on the Magic.
Listen, the G-Man isn't calling for the outright here, but the Grizzlies have been keeping things tight of late in their games, as Memphis is on a 5-2 straight up run, and they have covered their last 5 games, and 6 of their last 7.
Orlando is off a loss last night at Houston, and they are just 4-5 against the spread their last 9 games overall.
No doubt the Magic will win this game outright, as they are mighty tough at home this season, but let's remember that Memphis is 6-2 both straight up, and against the spread the last 8 times these teams have tangled, and they are also 10-3 against the spread the last 13 times they have faced Orlando.
G-Man taking the points in this one!
4♦ MEMPHIS
