Predicted Outcome
San Antonio, with their upgraded roster, carries impressive momentum and is undervalued as a road dog. Dallas has not covered well recently and preseason ATS trends are unreliable. Take the Spurs +2.5 and expect an outright upset, while the game total should stay under due to both teams ramping up defense for the opener.
Predicted Score: San Antonio Spurs 112, Dallas Mavericks 110
