Prediction:
Both teams played last night, but with Dallas looking like it could have a decent season I’d expect it to come out with a much better effort after blowing a home game last night. Doncic and Porzingis can only do so much, but expect better production form the Mavs’ role players to get the win and cover the short spread here on the road.
