This is the second game of a back-to-back set between these teams, though the games are separated by two days. The first matchup was played in Dallas and followed the script exactly. Our predictions went 4 for 4, including the Spurs covering easily, their team total clearing, and Victor Wembanyama cashing both scoring and rebounding props. That context matters.

Nothing meaningful has changed in the matchup, but Dallas is still short-handed, and San Antonio still controls every structural edge. These Mavericks vs. Spurs Predictions lean on repeatable factors, not variance. The picks target spread value, team scoring, and player props tied to locked roles. NBA betting works best when the inputs stay stable, and this game offers that clarity.

*Sports betting is unpredictable, and these picks are suggestions based on matchup driven analysis, not guarantees.

Mavericks vs. Spurs Game Overview: Stability vs. Transition

San Antonio enters this game at 34-16, first in the Southwest, and dominant at home. The Frost Bank Center has produced elite defensive results, anchored by the league’s best rim protection. Victor Wembanyama is averaging 33.3 points, 13.3 rebounds, and 6.0 blocks, and his usage does not fluctuate by opponent.

Dallas sits at 19-31 and continues to operate in a post Anthony Davis rotation. Kyrie Irving, Dereck Lively II, and P.J. Washington are all out, removing creation, rim pressure, and defensive versatility. Jimmy Butler remains unavailable following ACL surgery. Cooper Flagg carries the offense as a rookie at 20.1 points per game, but the supporting cast is thin and newly assembled.

The head-to-head trend is one-sided. San Antonio leads the all-time series 117 to 87 and has already won both meetings this season, including a 33-point win in the first game of this back-to-back. The matchup profile has not shifted.

Below are the top Mavericks vs. Spurs picks for February 7, available at major sportsbooks like FanDuel or through regulated prediction markets such as Kalshi.

Spurs to Cover the Spread -10.5

Dallas enters without its primary ball handler, rim runner, and interior defender. That creates a structural problem against a team built around paint control. San Antonio already proved it can separate early and sustain margin at home. This is not about short term form. It is about roster availability and matchup leverage.

Spurs Team Total Over 120.5

The Mavericks rely on a small, transitional rotation built around a rookie and stopgap veterans. Without Lively, interior resistance drops sharply. San Antonio plays disciplined offense and scores efficiently when it wins the possession battle. Pace and shot quality both favor the Spurs reaching their scoring number.

Victor Wembanyama Over 24.5 Points

Usage is locked. Dallas has no secondary rim protector and no defender who can contest his volume at the basket or on face ups. Wembanyama’s scoring output does not depend on game flow. It depends on touches, and those remain constant.

Victor Wembanyama Over 11.5 Rebounds

Lively’s absence removes Dallas’s primary rebounder. San Antonio forces missed shots at the rim, which increases defensive rebound volume. Wembanyama’s rebounding role is secure and not tied to blocks or scramble plays.

Props to Avoid

Some player props carry more risk than value in this matchup.

Cooper Flagg Over Assists – Dallas lacks reliable finishers. Creation does not translate cleanly into assists.
Khris Middleton Over Points – Health and minutes remain unclear. Usage is not fixed.
Any Mavericks Rebounds Overs, non Flagg – San Antonio’s rim control suppresses secondary rebound chances.
Jeremy Sochan Overs, any market – Questionable status and uncertain minutes increase volatility.

How We Make Our Predictions

We start by gathering core inputs, including team form, player trends, injuries, projected rotations, head to head data, and style matchups. We compare those factors to posted lines to identify mismatches where roles and usage are stable but pricing has not adjusted.

Our success rate this week is nearly 80 percent, with multiple 3 of 4 and 4 of 4 results. After a poor stretch last week, we refined our process. Over the last five games, our picks hit 16 of 19, an 84 percent win rate.
