Dallas Mavericks vs. San Antonio Spurs – NBA Playoffs Odds

NBA Playoffs odds favor the Spurs in this game but in the series the numbers are pretty close. One reason that the NBA Playoffs odds are close in this series is the absence of Manu Ginobili for the Spurs. He is out for the playoffs with an injury and San Antonio is not the same team without him. Many people believe the Mavericks can pull off the upset and win this series against the Spurs. The Dallas Mavericks have Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry who can matchup against Tim Duncan and Tony Parker. The key in this series could be the play of Josh Howard. If he plays well for the Mavericks then they will win this series. If he does not play well then the Spurs will win this series and it will be another disappointing first round NBA Playoffs betting loss for the Mavericks.
