Victor Wembanyama to Score 20+ Points (+130)
It's difficult to compare Wemby to any of the greats that came before him, simply because we've never seen anything like him. He has already made some jaw dropping plays in the preseason, so there is no doubt in my mind he will make a good first impression in his debut vs Dallas. We're getting pretty solid odds of +130 for a 20+ point game, he cleared that line twice during the preseason while averaging 19.2 points per game in 4 played. One of the biggest weaknesses of this Mavericks roster is their interior defense, so I'm thinking Wembanyama will exploit that. He has the whole package though, in 3 of the 4 preseason games he also knocked down 2 threes, so the Mavs could be in a lot of trouble here as the rookie starts off what should be an illustrious career.
