The first weekend of the NBA basketball is here and 2 Western Conference teams are playing against each other - Dallas Mavericks and Memphis Grizzlies. Dallas started the season by blowing 22 point lead and losing to Phoenix Suns. Memphis has already played 2 games - at home, the Grizzlies beat New York Knicks in overtime but last night Grizzlies beat Houston Rockets on the road.

In this game, I'm taking the under. Dallas last season wasn't the highest-scoring team and against the Suns, it was also seen because overall teams went under the points total. Yes, the Mavs have Luka Doncic but he's handling the ball very long and takes shots at the end of the shock clock that doesn't allow the team to play up-tempo basketball. Last season Dallas had Jalen Brunson who could score a lot of buckets but this season Doncic is the only ball-handler who can decide the game by himself. We can't forget that Doncic played in Eurobasket so he could face some fatigue issues at some point.

Memphis beat the Knicks in overtime (115:112) and the teams scored a total of 227 points that was the points line so both teams couldn't cover the over in 53 minutes of basketball. Last night Rockets and Grizzlies covered the over although Houston is going to score a lot of points this season and Ja Morant wasn't happy that the Grizzlies allowed 70 points in the first half. This could as a motivation for tonight's game as the Grizzlies wouldn't love to see Doncic going off and scoring more than 40 points.

Some more facts about going under in this game. Last season Dallas was 1 of the best under teams as more than 60% of all games went to under. Last season Dallas and Memphis met 4 times and in all games teams went under! This is Grizzlies back-to-back game and players could face some tiredness. Last season almost every Memphis second game in two days went under.

NBA篮球赛的第一个周末开始了，两支西部球队将在这里进行比赛——达拉斯小牛队和孟菲斯灰熊队。小牛队本赛季以22分的领先劣势输给菲尼克斯太阳队。灰熊已经在主场打了两场比赛，灰熊在加时赛中击败了纽约尼克斯，但昨晚灰熊在客场击败了休斯顿火箭。

在这场比赛中，我选择下盘。达拉斯上赛季并不是得分最高的球队，对太阳的比赛也是如此，因为球队总得分低于太阳。是的，小牛有卢卡·东契奇，但他持球时间太长，而且在冲击时间的末尾投篮，这让球队打不出快节奏的篮球。上赛季达拉斯的布伦森能得分很多，但本赛季东契奇是唯一能自己决定比赛的持球人。我们不能忘记东契奇打过欧洲篮球赛，所以他可能会在某个时候面临一些疲劳问题。

孟菲斯队在加时赛中以115:112击败尼克斯队，两队总共得到227分，这是得分线，所以两队在53分钟的比赛中都无法完成比赛。昨晚火箭和灰熊的比赛结束了，尽管火箭本赛季会得到很多分，贾·莫兰特对灰熊上半场只得到70分感到很不高兴。这可能会成为今晚比赛的动力，因为灰熊不希望看到东契奇下场并得到超过40分。

还有一些关于在这个游戏中潜水的事实。上个赛季小牛是最好的球队之一，超过60%的比赛都是在球员不足的情况下进行的。上赛季达拉斯和灰熊交手4次，所有的比赛双方都处于劣势!这是灰熊背靠背的比赛，球员们可能会面临一些疲劳。上赛季灰熊在两天内的第二场比赛几乎都失败了。
