Game Day (Home Opener): Mavericks (0-0) @ Suns (0-0), Wed 10/17/18

[Danimal]

I just really hope we get the win tonight. I know it’s only one game, but our opening night performances have been disgraceful for several years now. It wouldn’t hurt to build a little optimism for a change. The main thing for me is that Ayton and booker play well.

[carey]

I made some small player proposition bets for tonights game. It's my first time trying this, so I'm sure I'll fail miserably.

Dennis Smith Jr. - Over 18.5 points (-130) pays $5 + $3.85
Trevor Ariza - Over 8.5 points (-135) pays $5 + $3.70
Josh Jackson - Over 1.5 turnovers (-145) pays $5 + $3.45
Isaiah Canaan - Over 9.5 points (-115) pays $5 + $4.35

Player props from other games.

Hassan Whiteside - Over 11.5 rebounds (-135) pays $5 + $3.70
Trae Young - Over 2.5 3-pointers made (+110) pays $5 + $5.50
Danny Green - Over 7.5 points (-130) pays $5 + $3.85
DeAaron Fox - Over 2.5 turnovers (+105) pays $5 + $5.25

You can see that I like to take the over.

You already hit on Whiteside and Danny Green. Probably will lose the Young bet unless he hits 2 3s late (3:30 left.)

Jackson needs to just take what the offense gives him and work his butt off filling the holes on both ends. Leave the shot creation to Devin, Deandre and basically anyone else for now. Calm down, play strong.

He just needs to do what he was supposedly so good at in college. Play defense better than anyone else on the court. So far, he has been awful at that.

Preach.

Jackson can do more to contribute to this team besides scoring. How about we start with defense and go from there?

This is the only way to salvage him IMO.

But the fans wanna waste him there.

Enjoy these last few moments before the season opens. We still don’t suck yet.

It’s DOAN-cheech, right? DAWN-chitch is just easier for lazy Americans to say?

[TOO]

I like 2 outta the 5 in the starting lineup. Thats fun.

[SDC]

i hope the team gets blown out by dallas so phoenix will get a legit pg ASAP.

[TOO]

Ayton already better than Len ever was.

[EDC]

I have to listen to Mark Jackson. This is annoying.

[Furlanfufi]

Great start!

I’m listening to Mark Jackson and just realized I don’t have to.

[TOO]

We look like a basketball team early, I like that.

[Xylus]

Great start so far. Canaan looks solid in the first few minutes.

Starting Ariza over JJ is the right call.

[Wally_West]

Ayton looking great so far.

I HATE that players have to be inactive.
