Bonus NBA Pick: April 23

Game: San Antonio Spurs @ Dallas Mavericks
League: NBA
Pick: Dallas Mavericks -5

Reason For Pick:
This Spurs team is no longer the dominant playoff force we all remember. Their roleplayers aren't as strong as they used to be and no one on their current roster can even come close to filling the shoes of the injured Manu Ginobili. That being said, the Spurs played great in game 2 when they were a desperate team that didn't want to head to Dallas down 2-0 in the series. I believe the Mavs will be the hungrier team tonight and will prevent Tony Parker from shooting anywhere close to the 73% field goal percentage he put up in game 2. Look for the Mavs to come out strong on their homecourt tonight as they did in the 2nd half of the regular season putting up a 15-1 home record since the All-Star break. The 5 point spread is a little dangerous but I still believe the Mavs get it done tonight winning my a margin of somewhere between 6-12 points.
