GAME CONTEXT
The San Antonio Spurs are 5-3 through 8 games this season. The Dallas Mavericks are 4-3 through 7 games. The Spurs and Mavericks each played their last game on November 2, 2026, and enter this matchup with 1 day of rest.
KEY ABSENCES
GAME SCRIPT
The expected pace is about 102.4, or roughly 102 possessions per team: a fast pace. Both teams run at a similar pace over their last 10 games, 102.6 for the San Antonio Spurs and 102.1 for the Dallas Mavericks, so neither slows the other down. The Dallas Mavericks have a defensive rating of 114.2 and allow 116.5 points per game, while the San Antonio Spurs have an offensive rating of 110.0. The Dallas Mavericks have five players out, including center Dereck Lively II, which weighs on their rotation. The spread is 12.5 points: a margin that wide opens the door to garbage time in the fourth quarter, with an accelerated pace.
OUR ANALYSIS
SPREAD: No spread pick: there is no fatigue situation in this game.
TOTALS: Our lean is toward the OVER 226.5. Our model projects 228.1 points, 1.6 points above the line, which supports the bet. The game script confirms it: fast pace, a Dallas Mavericks defense with a 114.2 defensive rating, and possible garbage time late in the game. The edge remains slim.
The San Antonio Spurs have a defensive rating of 105.1 and allow 107.8 points per game: if their defense imposes control, the total can stay under 226.5. A game played without urgency late would also cost the OVER. We accept that risk, because the Dallas Mavericks score 116.2 points per game with an offensive rating of 113.6, which gives them enough to fuel the total even against this defense.
We are not taking a position on the spread. Our lean is toward the OVER 226.5 @ 1.940, with no staking advice.
