10* GAME OF THE WEEK > > 12-3 PLAYOFF RUN TESTED!
(NBA) Dallas vs. Utah, 08/10/2020 3:00 PM, Score: 122 - 114
Point Spread: -2.00 | -110.00 Dallas (Away)
Result: Win
T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks (10* GAME OF THE WEEK).

If the NBA and NHL restarts have taught us anything, it's that to expect the unexpected. The Pandemic really has evened the playing field in both sports, as the lower-seeded teams in each sport seem to be playing at an extremely high level right now. In such a chaotic atmosphere, "situational" capping is critical in my opinion. Dallas is right behind Utah in seventh place. Both come off OT contests, but there's a big a difference in that Dallas won 136-123 over the Bucks in single OT, while the Jazz fell 134-132 in double OT to the Nuggets. I like the Mavs to build off that inspiring win and to take advantage of this tired and dejected Jazz side; lay the short points!

T.M. Prediction: 120-108 Mavs.
