Mavs look to continue winning ways on the road
The Dallas Mavericks will be looking to pick up yet another road win on Thursday night when they travel to Seattle to take on the struggling SuperSonics.
Dallas brings a 32-10 overall mark (7-2 in the division) into this game vs. a Seattle team carrying a 17-24 record.
Defence may play a big role in this one, but that's mainly because experts don't think much of it will be played. Oddsmakers opened the total on the high side, a huge 211. Early lines have Dallas favored by 6 points on the road.
Last time out, the Mavericks defeated the Warriors 102-93 as 5 point favorites. That contest went under the closing total.
The SuperSonics come off a 113-94 win against the Jazz, a game where they were a 5.5 point underdog. The game went over the closing total of 196.5.
Since firing coach Bob Weiss, the Sonics have gone 4-7. They rank 2nd in the league in scoring and look to sustain their 102.3 points per game average against the Mavericks's #9-rated defensive unit.
