There is no better way getting into the weekend than with a ESPN double-header. The Knicks and Bucks will start us off at 7.30 ET, followed by a clash between the top 2 seeds in the West the Dallas Mavericks and Denver Nuggets. I've prepared a Same Game Parlay, which you can find below.
We will have predictions on the side and total for Friday's 7-game slate, simply visit our NBA predictions page to see them.
Let's dive into my SGP bet now!
Dallas Mavericks +7 Point Spread (-110)
We have a team that's off to a 4-0 start to the season being 7-point underdogs here, I'm not sure what's the thinking behind that by the oddsmakers, but we might as well take advantage of it while they're offering. Dallas is 6-4 ATS/SU over the last 10 meetings, actually outscoring the Nuggets by almost 3 points per game during that stretch. In their last 7 visits to Ball Arena they've covered the spread 5 times, and with Denver going just 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games overall, I really fancy the Mavs' chances to keep this game close. Luka Doncic is averaging almost a triple-double, Dallas could be without Kyrie Irving here, but with his shooting struggles in the first 2 games of the season they might not need him to get a result here. Let's back Dallas to cover the spread.
