We're going to FanDuel again for this one because they are the best in the world regarding ladder moves. The people want opportunity, and damn it, FanDuel gives it to us every single day. They're the real heroes here. As it stands, DraftKings doesn't even have NBA player prop lines up for this game. How can we bet player props if no player prop lines are out? Make it make sense.

Here's the thing about this one, Jason Kidd said last night that either one of Luka Doncic or Spencer Dinwiddie could be rested tonight. The great Tim MacMahon literally posted that on Twitter last night. It would make sense too, since those two combined to play 81 minutes last night, and they are playing the Houston Rockets tonight. Since that's the case, this game could be a little closer than the books think, which means we could see full minutes for the guys who are playing.

Now many would think we should go 15+ points (+280) on Dorian Finney-Smith, and that might not be a bad option. I love +280 bets. Everyone does. But what I think we should do is look to the Houston side and grab one of their guys. They don't have a ton of people taking a ton of shots, so it's worth a look. You know it makes sense, I know it makes sense, and the books know it makes sense. We're all in agreement here.

Jalen Green is the one who sticks out the most. I know he's a home rims guy (probably), but lately, he's been lighting it up on the road. In his last four road games, the kid has hit at least four three-pointers in three of them. What's better is he's taken at least 10 in all three of those games. The haters are going to say Dallas limits three-point opportunities since no team sees opponents take fewer three-point shots per game, but does that matter? Short answer, no. Last night, Nicolas Batum dropped seven treys against Dallas. In the game before that, Jerami Grant and Anfernee Simons canned five threes apiece. This should definitely not be +182.
