Well the San Antonio Spurs are about to find out. Averaging 20 points in his first two starts, Barea will look to help lead the Dallas Mavericks to their fifth straight win and 10th in 11 games tonight against the visiting Spurs, who are coming off a pair of blowout victories keyed by Tony Parker.

Barea had 15 points off the bench in a win over the Clippers last Tuesday, and was even better after joining the starting lineup for the next two games. He had 18 points in a 112-97 win over Phoenix on Thursday, and a season-high 22 in a 100-98 victory against Atlanta on Saturday.

Dallas has won nine of 10 games and is 7-1 without Josh Howard, who averages 20.3 points but has been sidelined because of a sprained left ankle. The Spurs are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games. We've got your NBA odds in the Bodog Sportsbook.
