NBA Picks & Predictions for Monday, November 8, 2010
By Drew Sharper
The Boston Celtics hit the road on Monday to take on perennial Western Conference contender, the Dallas Mavericks, at 8:30PM ET.
Boston is 6-1 this season and 2-1 on the road. They already lead the Atlantic Division by 2.5 games. The Mavericks are 3-2 on the season and just 1-2 at home. The Celtics have won three of the last four meetings with the Mavs, including the last two in Dallas.
Here are some trends to consider and my pick for tonight’s game:
Boston Celtics vs. Dallas Mavericks, 8:30PM ET
The Celtics are 5-0 ATS in their last five games in Dallas and 5-1 ATS in their last six games with the Mavericks overall. The Underdog is also 7-3 ATS in the last 10 games of this series.
The Mavericks are also 1-4 ATS in their last five against the NBA Atlantic Division and 1-5 ATS in their last six against the Eastern Conference.
