NBA Opener, Dallas Mavericks vs Phoenix Suns.
Scoring has turn down, Mavs averaged just 92.1 points in preseason and reached 100 point mark twice. They are shooting 46% and 42.1% from 3pt range. Struggling at the line shooting just 73.3%although the offense struggled at times in preseason the defense was solid. Mavs opponents averaged 91.9 pt per game on 43.8% shooting from the floor. Gave up 100 pts once, NY 10/06, and held opponents to below 90 four times.
Look for healthy Marquis Daniels to have a break out year.

Phoenix averaged 9.7 3FGM last season, this preseason they are hitting 10.6 3FGM and yet thier game total have fallen. Nash is still moving the ball well, but lacks the personel to control the paint.
Look for Leandro Barbosa to have a break out year.

DAL/PHO UNDER 218 -116 to win 2.00 units (L)
*Waited little too long on this one as it was 221.5, but you know this still looks Under.

Did I do something wrong or what? Double OT to moose this easy UNDER.
Dallas should not have been able to comeback in the 4th like that...
Loss 1-0 -2.32 units

Bad luck..
After previous NBA Opener 2004 observed Over trend. First two weeks will be Over for totals entirely.
I'm still hoped that you knew something on this battle.
Anyway, Day 1 brought O/U +3-1
