Dallas vs. Phoenix

Dallas will be without star Kristaps Porzingis until January from an October surgery. He was the team's second-leading scorer. Dallas has to open the new season on the road and is 4-14 ATS when the line is +3 to -3. They face a Phoenix squad that has an elite backcourt with outstanding passing. The Suns already had Devin Booker (26.6 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 4.2 apg) and big man Deandre Ayton (18.2 ppg, 11.5 rpg), and have added star point guard Chris Paul for this season. Phoenix is 19-7 ATS against Dallas, including covering six of the last seven in this building, so back home court. Play Phoenix.
