If you don’t have tickets, you can catch all the action in crystal clear high definition on ESPN tonight. According to NBA Picks experts and NBA Odds makers at SBGglobal.com, the OVER/UNDER for this Spurs vs. Mavericks November 18, 2009 matchup has been settled at a projected combined total of 196½ points scored.

For the visiting Spurs, injuries haven’t allowed the to get off the start everyone envision coming out of training camp. Who would have ever thought that a veteran squad like San Antonio would be winless on the road almost 10 games into the NBA Picks season. Even since the return of All-Stars Tony Parker and Tim Duncan, the Silver and Black is just 2-4.

"We still haven't played that many games together yet," huge offseason acquisition Richard Jefferson said. "And I think everyone's always looking for that 8-2 start, everything's going great. Well that's not how the NBA works sometimes."

For the hosting Mavs, thing have gone exactly the other way around. Already 5 games over .500, Dallas couldn’t have possible dreamed the start they’ve gotten off to, as they lead the way in the Southwest Division by: 2 games over Houston, 2½ in front of these Spurs, and then 4½ and 5½ ahead of New Orleans and Memphis.

Dallas is coming off a very exciting, 115-113 overtime victory over a red-hot Milwaukee Bucks team, on a Dirk Nowitzki 18-foot jumper as time expired. "We feel fortunate," Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle said. "We played hard enough to deserve the game and they did too. It's a great win for us and a tough loss for them."
