This game is important for both teams and maybe they could decide through it, which opponent they want for the first round of the playoffs.

Dallas is in 7th position and if they win they will play against New Orleans. If Dallas loses and Denver wins against Memphis (which is very probable), then they will move at 8th position and face Lakers. On the other hand New Orleans if they win and so does Denver they will face each other. I believe that New Orleans prefer Denver than Dallas, because Denver is an unsteady team. But even if New Orleans loses tonight, I think that they will not want to lose by a big margin, as they will face Dallas for the first round of the playoffs. Do you think that if they lose by more than 3-4 points, it will be good for them? I don't think so. If New Orleans wins, it will be a message for Dallas, that even at your home we can beat you. Then they will have a very high morale for their first playoff game.

Dallas is in a 5-5 record at their last 10 games and they lost their last 4 games ATS. They are, also, coming from a two game losing streak, @Seattle and @Portland. Both of them were not interested in winning the games, but yet they managed to get a win over Dallas.

On the other hand New Orleans is 7-3 at their last 10 games and 6-3-1 ATS. Their last 2 defeats were @Sacramento and @Lakers by 3 points.

I'm not going to trust a team like Dallas in that kind of handicap against the 2nd team of the West.
