DALLAS MAVERICKS (-3.0) @ NEW JERSEY NETS
I know the Mavericks looked awful last night, but I’m betting they don’t two nights in row. Dallas actually started hitting some shots in the 4th quarter and I expect them to come out firing tonight. Hopefully, they’ve loosened up from the cold weather shock and can capitalize on a Nets squad that only has three players…no really…three players! Mavs by 6-12 points

SIDE NOTE: I wouldn’t call this a Hoops Special, but Louisville and Arizona are playing in the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden on ESPN tonight. Since I know I’ll be watching it…I know I’ll have to bet it. I’m not sold on either squad but Arizona is 5-1 coming off a 12 point win against Illinois, while Louisville has only played 3 games this year (losing one at Dayton) and are led by 2 freshmen and 2 sophomores. Arizona giving 6 points sounds like the play…but only because I have a problem!!!
