Happy Valentines day fellas. If you’re like my friends and are tied down at 23 then you are probably cooking your girl dinner or putting together a puzzle or some other corny activity, and don’t have time for this. But, if you’re like me and are free to do whatever you want whenever you want, then join in on the action today. We’ve got some good games today. These two teams have both played very well lately, so I expect a tight game. The Mavericks are 5.5 point favorites because of home court advantage and the injuries to Portland, but I think it will be closer than that. Portland just beat Philadelphia while the Mavericks haven’t beaten a good team in their current 4 game win streak. This game will come down to which team’s role players/bench can hit their shots. I think the Blazers bench will shoot especially well, as they have recently. Take the Blazers +5.5 spread, Carmelo Anthony over 14.5 points, and Luka Doncic over 29.5 points.
