3 units on San Antonio over Dallas
(NBA) Spurs (SAN) vs. Mavericks (DAL),
Point Spread: 8.50 | -114.00 Spurs (SAN) (Away)
Result: Loss
This is the year the Spurs take a leap. With Luka (calf) banged up as usual, the Spurs can take advantage of several things. One is the undersized power forward PJ Marshall for Dallas. Klay Thompson might help at some point, but he's really slowed down on the defensive end. Wemby has put on about 25 pounds, so he should be even better this season. Chris Paul and Harrison Barnes give them experience and some coaching on the floor.
