The NBA is back in action following the All-Star Game break, and one of the most anticipated games of the day is the match-up between the Spurs vs Mavericks. The Mavericks, playing at home, are heavily favored to win the game.
The Spurs are currently enduring a dismal losing streak of 14 games, and languishing in 14th place in the Western Conference. On the other hand, the Mavericks have lost their last three games and Coach Jason Kidd faces the challenging task of ensuring that star players Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving are able to play effectively together as quickly as possible.

Betting on the San Antonio Spurs
- Season record: 14-45
It’s hard to believe that a Gregg Popovich team is on a 14-game losing streak, but that’s the reality for the Spurs. One of the few bright spots in the midst of this terrible moment is the performance of Keldon Johnson. In the month of February, the forward has averages of 21.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 49.5% shooting from the field.
The Spurs are one of the leading candidates to keep highly-rated prospect Victor Wembanyama, largely due to his nightmarish 2022-23 campaign.
Betting on the Dallas Mavericks
- Season record: 31-29
The arrival of Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks caused quite a stir in the market, but the team’s new superstar has yet to taste victory alongside fellow standout player, Luka Dončić.
Despite the unquestionable potential of having two talents of that caliber on the roster, Coach Jason Kidd faces the formidable challenge of ensuring the duo’s chemistry is perfected in the second half of the season. This is critical for the Mavericks to emerge as a serious contender for the playoffs in the Western Conference.
Fortunately, the team has the opportunity to start building some momentum in their upcoming games, with their first six matchups after the All-Star Game taking place at home.
JefeBet Prediction
The Mavericks defeated the San Antonio Spurs 126-125 in the previous meeting between the two in the season. In the second half, they have three pending games.
Little by little Doncic and Irving will surely improve their chemistry on the court and the Spurs are the perfect opponent to start the second half with a resounding victory. For this reason, at JefeBet we are betting on a Dallas win.
Prediction: Dallas Mavericks Spread.
