The Picksix: Mavs to mail in end of season once more?

DETROIT (-5.5) over Toronto -- Hard to imagine the Pistons will be taking it easy on national TV, especially against a possible first-round opponent. This should be a bopping.

San Antonio over LA LAKERS (-5.5) -- Tooth-and-nail battle for seeding in the West. Should be a tight one.

Miami over CLEVELAND (-19.5) -- Bron's back is questionable...but not as questionable as the entirety of his supporting cast. Too many points.

Orlando (-1.5) over CHICAGO -- The Bulls show up against Detroit, Cleveland and no one else.

Houston over DENVER (-6.5) -- Though Denver should have more urgency, the Rockets sit just a half-game off the pace for the crucial Southwest Division lead. They'll be clawing, too.

SEATTLE over Dallas (-8.5) -- The Mavs mailed in their last couple last year, and it didn't turn out so well. They also lost to Portland last night, and they are locked into the seventh seed. Argh. The points it is.

Last night: 4-5
Season: 619-577
