Let’s find a wager worth taking.
The Dallas Mavericks seek an escape from a string of heartbreaking losses. Four games have come and gone, each a touch more cruel than the last. The Mavs have fallen from a decent 5-3 start to the young season to a troublesome 5-7. While there is plenty of time to turn things around, the sooner, the better. As luck would have it, the rebuilding Spurs come to Dallas for what should be a get-right game. Yet as we have seen lately, no game is safe from drama for the Mavericks.
Let’s scan the lines and find some value in the lines and props offered.
Game Details

Date and Time: Saturday, November 16th, 2024; 7:30 PM CST

Outcome Odds
- Spread: Dallas -10.5 (-112)
- O/U 227.5 (-112)
- Mavs ML: -550
Odds up to date as of 3:20 AM CST from DraftKings
It is tough to pick Dallas to cover a spread this large with all the late-game dysfunction we have witnessed. However, it is San Antonio. Consider parlaying the Mavs money line with our player props if you believe Dallas snaps the skid.
Player Props
- Julian Champagnie over 10 points (-125)
- Victor Wembanyama over 3.5 Stocks (Steals plus Blocks) (-168)
Julian Champagnie asserted himself early in the first meeting between these teams. He is not bashful about launching early and often. Take the over here.
Wemby only had one block and no steals in the season opener. The Mavs will face a much better version this time around as he is dominating in both categories this month. 4.3 blocks and 1.6 steals per game thus far in November.
Play of the Day
- Same Game Parlay: Mavs ML, Luka Doncic over 9 assists and 30 points (+230)
The Spurs are the sort of team Doncic should rack up assists against. This line is a reflection of how strange the start of the season has been for #77 so far. A season ago, this line would be double digits and probably should be here, especially with Irving’s status somewhat cloudy. The same holds for his point total as Dallas will need his scoring in this one despite the overall talent disparity. If the assists and points totals hit, we should also be looking at the end of the losing streak and a nice +230 hit.
