This is going to be a very tough game. Phoenix youngsters are really hungry, it was even visible in the preseason. Booker has shown a lot of growth in the last season already, he is not just scoring a lot, he is also very efficient. Phoenix has won 3 of 4 games last year (last three). Mavs will have to match very high level of intensity. They have a lot of bodies to throw at Luka. Defending CP3/Ayton PnR will be key on defense.

I should bet on Phoenix so it’s a win win situation.

Yeah, after seeing the Suns play the other night, I've got a bad feeling about this one.  It seems like the Mavs are usually just not ready for NBA intensity early in the season.  And I hope we don't see Powell trying to deal with Ayton.

I was at that bloodbath last season at home against Phoenix. That was a rough game to watch!

Saric will be out. Let's hope Doncic gets Ayton in the foul trouble soon. Other Phoenix centers are a joke.

TJ Warren is in Indy so he can't randomly drop 30. Put Richardson on Booker. Easy win.

Wouldn't Richardson cover Paul and DFS cover Booker?  THJ and Luka split up Bridges and Crowder and Ayton scores 40 on Powell (which is OK if we hold everyone else to reasonable numbers.

So you're predicting a win with 80% of the game thread posts about how bad Powell is. That's a worthy sacrifice. Mavs win. Powell gets beaten up by MavsForum. Repeat.

Why is there a difference in FSR values between regular season and Playoffs? Why do most go up to varying degrees while DAL and POR go down a couple points?

Or we can play Maxi and Ayton scores 15 (while everyone else still holds others to reasonable numbers) Tongue
