The current betting odds have the Mavericks listed as a 5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Mavericks lost in their opening game but they were on the road against a good Suns team and only lost by 2 points in that game. The Mavericks are going to be at home for their home opener here though and they are also rested since they did not have to play on Friday night, unlike the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies are on the road in Houston on Friday so they will not be rested since this is a back-to-back for them, but the Grizzlies didn't look great in their season opener. They won at home against the Knicks but they only won the game by 3 points in OT when they had plenty of chances to pull away in regulation and put the Knicks in their place. They kept allowing the Knicks to come back in the game though and now they have a big road game here against a rested team. This is a great spot for the Mavericks who are rested in their home opener here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mavericks to cover the spread in this game.
