Vegas odds for tonight’s Dallas Mavericks @ San Antonio Spurs NBA playoff series Game 3 matchup are now posted on NSAwins.com and vegas oddsmakers have made the San Antonio Spurs a -3.5 point favorite with the total listed at over/under 194 points for tonight’s game at 9:35 PM EST(on ESPN) in San Antonio, TX. The series is tied 1-1 heading into tonight’s pivotal Game 3 showdown after San Antonio bounced back from a 100-94 loss in Game 1 Sunday with an impressive 102-88 win in Game 2 Wednesday. Tim Duncan led the way for the Spurs with 25 points and 17 rebounds in game 2 after scoring 27 in Game 1. After struggling in the last couple weeks of the regular season, Duncan is dominating the series averaging 26 points and 12.5 rebounds against Dallas. “For two or three weeks there toward the end of the season, I was starting to wear down a little bit,” Duncan said. But this is playoff time and few players in NBA history have performed better than the 34-year-old Duncan has when the games have gotten bigger and bigger in the postseason. In fact, Duncan’s back-to-back 25 point plus games in the 1st two games of this series were his first back-to-back 25-plus games since Decmeber. “There’s a reason why he’s the best power forward to ever play this game,” Dallas Mavericks center Brendan Haywood said. “When you play your best defense and it looks like he has nowhere to go, he still finds a way to score.” As good as Duncan has been he will have to continue at that level if the Spurs want to beat Dallas in a playoff series for the first time since 2003. The Spurs wrestling home court advantage Wednesday night probably doesn’t mean that much in determining the winner of this series. The Mavericks were only one game better at home (28-13) than they fared on the road (27-14) this season, as they finished with the best road record in the league. NSAwins.com’s expert handicapper William E. Stockton likes the Mavericks to win Game 3 tonight and cover as a +3.5 point underdogs.
