The Spurs missed a string of games just before the NBA All-Star break thanks to virus issues. Tonight’s game will allow San Antonio to make one of those missed games up and also provides fans with an intriguing all-Texas showdown. With an extra week to get healthy, the Spurs will look to start the second half on a strong note after losing to the Oklahoma City thunder in their final game before the break. The Mavericks went into the break on a three-game winning streak and will look to carry that momentum over into tonight’s NBA betting matchup. Dallas won the only prior head-to-head meeting between the teams this season.
