Portland Trail Blazers vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/16/25

The Dallas Mavericks have had real issues at home this season, accumulating more losses on their homecourt than any other NBA team. Tonight, they should have difficulties reversing their fortunes, especially with Anthony Davis listed as doubtful to play. The Portland Trail Blazers are so far a .500 team this season and have won 3 games on the road already. They should have a clear advantage at point guard in this matchup with Jrue Holiday at the helm for the team. The veteran point guard is averaging 19 points and 8.4 assists per game when playing on the road this season. He will have a size advantage over Brandon Williams and should be able to dominate his matchup.

Some of the biggest issues the Mavericks have had is defending inside and defending in transition. This season they are 25th in opponent points in the paint and 27th in opponent fast break points per game. With the Trail Blazers in the top 8 in the league in scoring in both categories, they are in prime position to take full advantage. Considering the hosts are dead last in 3-point makes per game while the visitors are 9th in that category, there should be enough of a disparity in scoring to allow the Trail Blazers to cover the spread here.
