ASA top play on 10* UNDER 222.5 Dallas Mavericks at Minnesota Timberwolves, 7:40 PM ET - This is a rematch of a playoff series a year ago which the Mavs won in 5-games so expect a little more intensity than usual for a game this early in the season. The Mavericks are coming off a game last night and will have some tired legs tonight. Last season when the Timberwolves played with rest advantage the Unders cashed at a 74% rate with 6 Overs, 17 Unders and 1 push. Dallas had a slight Under trend when playing without rest at 54% last season. When you look at full season stats the Mavs were not good defensively allowing 1.149-points per possession which ranked 18th in the NBA. In their last 23 games though they allowed 1.104PPP, 9th best in the league. Minnesota was the best overall defensive team in the league last season allowing 1.084PPP. Both teams defend the 3-point line well with the Wolves holding opponents to 29.5%, 5th best, while Dallas allows 32.7%, 8th best. It is a small sample size this season but both teams are playing below league average in terms of pace of play, which obviously makes this Under that much more attractive. 7 of the last ten meetings between these two teams has resulted in 223 or less points. We will be this one Under!
