The Dallas Mavericks Look To start off Fast Against the Minnesota Timberwolves
The Dallas Mavericks Look To start off Fast Against the Minnesota TimberwolvesThe Dallas Mavericks are one of the best teams in the NBA, but they have a bad habit of starting off games slowly, putting then in an early hole that they are forced to try and recover from. The Minnesota Timberwolves are one of the worst teams in the league and the Mavericks will look to get a strong start.


BetPhoenix is the best online sportsbook to wager on the NBA and they have the latest odds on this and all other games on the schedule.

After falling behind by 18 points in the first half of consecutive games, the Mavericks had to consider themselves lucky to escape with a split against Golden State (win) and San Antonio (loss).

But the simple practice of getting into such an early hole is more troubling than what the actual results are. The Mavs realize they're going to lose far more than they win if double-digit deficits are a nightly occurrence.

The good start Carlisle was looking for came Sunday against the Warriors with Dallas leading by as many as 17 in the second quarter. Holding that lead was another issue. Golden State made several runs, getting as close as four points twice in the third quarter. But the overmatched Warriors didn't have enough to sustain any of their rallies, and Dallas pulled away for the easy win. The Mavericks will look to avoid that kind of start when they take on Minnesota.

The Timberwolves are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game and -7 ATS in their last nine games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game.

The Mavericks are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games following a win of more than 10 points and will carry that momentum over to a big win against Minnesota.
