Current Line / Dallas 5 & 226
Uncle Dave and i tried to record a audio segment for you guys today. We had no luck as I had some issues with my microphone. Have no fear we still have some notes for this game though.
Dave and i both decided that Memphis +5 was the way to go.
We like the fact that Memphis is rested and the Mavs are without a key piece in Doncic. Last time these teams played, Morant was OUT. So it'll be a whole new look for the Mavs dealing with Morant.
We also don't like the Mavs depth right now. Both Curry and Barea are questionable and the Mavs bench now is very thin. Not to mention the departure of Doncic and Powell.
Memphis has really stepped up on the defensive side of the ball as they have been 5th in Def Shooting%
Dallas has had a tough run of travel and Memphis seems to have it's motor running right now. Grizzlies are 12-3 the last 15 games.
Dallas has been terrible at home this season and they are just 14-12 this season.
We both agree this game sits heavily on the shoulders of Porzingis. With the recent success of Memphis on the defensive end, we both agree this might be a record based line. Not a current shape of the teams stats, situation and current play.
If Porzingis has even a 50/50 type of night, we should cash this play outright.
