Current line has DAL by 7.5
O/U at 232.5

Only significant injury is Curry for GSW.

I would say I like DAL to cover and to take the Over, but the way DAL seems to play down to their opponents doesn't give me a lot of confidence in those picks.

No legit way to watch again? Sheesh.

Predictions:

Chris Paul struggles against DJJ. Gafford goes off against that undersized lineup. Kyrie returns to form.

This feels like a game where Josh can flourish

Offense without Luka hasn't been good. THJ is bringing the ball up the floor. THJ is initiating the offense. Not sure why Kyrie isn't more aggressive. His post allstar strech has been brutal if we are looking at +/-, on/off numbers.

Once again the new sub policy looks good. Exum first in for DJJ to help get us going offensively. Got to give credit for changing it up.

Gafford looks amazing starting us off. He’s not as good defensively as Lively, but he has some bully in him and we need that to start games.

PJail is still taking inmates. He has been really impressive.

Again Hardaway with the butter fingers and the ill advised - ball stopping - early shot clock - well guarded 3’s. The only negative right now. Credit to Kidd for lowering his minutes. He’s right that we still need him. Just running out of time to show exactly why he deserves minutes at all

Gafford with a few nice Gortat screens. Creating open lanes for Luka and DJJ.

Exum again looking good. Sound defender. Smart player. Connector. Glue guy. Can dribble. And surprisingly can shoot.

Only limitation is his body. Similar to Maxi in some ways. They both are great players well suited for the bench in 10-20 mpg roles. Elite bench options

Exum doing Exum stuff. Mavs haven't had a glue guy like this since...I don't know even know.

Can Kidd please call a timeout. One turnover after another.

1/14 from three and 5 Luka TOs

Still leading

Yeah both teams sloppy with the ball.

Dallas wouldn’t be leading with the old team shooting 1/14 from three.  I think most were good shots.  A few were halfway down.

Glad GS going small did not make us go small in the first half

Low scoring game. Rarely happens these days.

When’s the last time we made 1 first half 3 and were still winning? This is a big deal. It’s nice to not be so dependent on 3’s

Ugly game

Green really playing well
