The Pick: My 50 Dime winner is the Brooklyn Nets.
The Line: The current line is -1 at the majority of books in Vegas and offshore as of 9:00 AM EST. Be sure to shop around for the best line available.
Update: At 1:30 pm eastern, the Nets are +2 points.
My Analysis
Going to ride this covering machine.
The 23-48 Brooklyn Nets return home after a 2-game series at Indiana, a series that brought 0-2 to the table but a perfect 2-0 ATS.
As an 8-point dog Thursday night they lost in OT 105-99 and as a 13-point dog Saturday they ost 108-103.
Don't look now but those 2 covers make it 5 in a row and 7 of their last 8.
On March 10th at home +5 they beat the Lakers 111-108 before going on the road for a 2-game road trip at Cleveland and Chicago.
As a 15-point dog they got the money against the Cavs 109-104 and 2 nights later catching +2 the Bulls got them 116-110.
Back home for a pair they gave the Celtics all they could handle as an 11-point dog losing 115-113 and then beat Atlanta the next night 122-114 getting +6 1/2.
Finally, before the Indiana 2-game series, they went into Boston getting 13 1/2 and again hung around all night losing 104-96.
Talk about a team that just isn't quitting.
Now comes the depleted Mavs and I just don't see Dallas winning this game.
Dallas is 1-7 SU their last 8 on the road with the only win against the depleted Spurs.
That is good enough for me.
Nets roll to a 6th straight cover with a win at home tonight.
